Abstract:
Phyllosticta leaf spot (Phyllosticta zingiberi) of ginger is an important disease, causing severe damage to the foliage, which ultimately results in significant yield losses of ginger. Therefore, present in vitro studies were undertaken to evaluate the bioefficacy of seven each systemic fungicides and non-systemic/combiproduct fungicides, to assess their potential against P. zingiberi. Results indicated that Among systemic fungicides evaluated Carbendazim 50% WP, Propiconazole 25% EC, Hexaconazole 5% EC, Thiophanate methyl 70% WP and Difenconazole 25% EC (each @ 500 and 1000 ppm) resulted with cent per cent (100.00%) mycelial growth inhibition of the test pathogen, over untreated control. These were followed by Azoxystrobin 23% SC (73.33 and 83.33%), respectively @ 500 and 1000 ppm.
Among non-systemic/combiproduct fungicides evaluated Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP, Carboxin 37.5 + Thiram 37.5% WP and Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystorbin 25% WP (each @ 2000 and 2500 ppm) resulted with cent per cent (100.00%) mycelial growth inhibition of the test pathogen, over untreated control. These were, followed by Mancozeb 75% WP (73.33 and 80.00%), Metalaxyl M 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP (51.10 and 62.22%) and Propineb 70% WP (42.22 and 68.88%), respectively @ 2000 and 2500 ppm.
Thus, judicious use of these fungicides can be recommended to combat Phyllosticta leaf spot of ginger.
