IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL FUNGICIDES AGAINST Tolyposporium penicillariae Bref
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 11
Abstract
Smut incited by Tolyposporium penicillariae Bref. is asporadic and destructive disease in major pearl millet growing area of Madhya Pradesh. In the present experiment an effort has been made to study the management of smut pathogen (Tolyposporium penicillariae Bref.) through fungicides under in-vitro conditions. The efficacy of nine fungicides viz. Hexaconazole, Azoxistrobin, Propiconazole, Tebuconazole + Trifloxystrobin, Carbendazim + Mancozeb, Thiram, Carbendazim, Mancozeb, Carboxin was tested by using completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications against smut of pearl millet by applying poison food technique. Result reveals that two fungicides; Hexaconazole and Carboxin completely (100%) inhibited the growth of fungus at 0.1% concentration. None of other fungicides completely inhibited fungal growth. The minimum mycelial growth inhibition was observed in case of Thiram (72.15%) and Mancozeb (76.86%). The present study suggests that growth of the pathogen is inhibited by different commercially easily available newer fungicides which play an important role in management of smut disease.
