In vitro evaluation of fungicides against Fusarium solani of cotton

摘要

Eight fungicides viz., Carbendazim, Carborin, Thiram, Methoxy ethyl mercury chloride, Captan, Copper oxychloride. Benomyl and Mancozeb in vitro at six concentrations (50, 100, 200, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) were tested against Fusarium solani by poisondfood technique. Per cent inhibition was worked out for all the treatments. Carbendazim, Carboxin and Benomyl completely inhibited the growth of F. solani. The next best fungicides were methoxy ethyl mercury chloride and captan which completely inhibitedthe growth of test fungus at 500 ppm.
