FIELD EVALUATION OF NEW FUNGICIDE MOLECULES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF LATE BLIGHT OF POTATO CAUSED BY Phyfophthora infestans (MONT.) DE BARY

摘要

Three new fungicide molecules, namely, Folio Gold @ 0.2%, Ridomil Gold @ 0.25% and Mandipropamid 250 SC @ 0.16% were compared for field evaluation with standard recommendations viz, Mancozeb and Ridomil MZ-72 @ 0.2% against late blight organism. The new fungicides, Ridomil Gold @ 0.25%, Mandipropamid @ 0.16% and Folio Gold @ 0.2% were found to be highly effective in reducing disease severity and protecting yield loss. These new fungicides proved their effectiveness against late blight pathogen underfield condition.
