Abstract:
The present study was carried out with an aim to find out the effective fungicides, botanicals and organic amendments under in vitro and in vivo conditions. The in vitro evaluations revealed that Tebuconazole was found highly effective in controlling the mycelial growth of C. truncatum completely at 500 and 1000ppm concentration among the different fungicides tested by poison food technique. Among the botanicals and organic amendments Garlic bulb extract and Panchgavya found most effective, respectively. In vivo study revealed that among the eight treatments, combinations of Tebuconazole 0.1% (seed treatment + foliar spary) + Garlic extract 15% (foliar spray) + Panchgavya 15% (foliar spray) was found most effective in management of anthracnose of soybean with minimum percent disease index (PDI) 24.44% and maximum 62.06 per cent disease control (PEDC). The aim of present study was to find out an innovative and environmentally safe strategy for control of anthracnose in soybean by integrating of chemicals fungicides, botanicals and organic amendments.
