Abstract
Field experiments were conducted during kharif 2007 and 2008 on evaluation of different seed treating fungicides against seed and soil borne diseases of groundnut. Seed treatment with tebuconazole resulted in minimum collar rot (9.1%) and stem rot (22.6%) incidence followed by hexaconazole + captan (10.1 and 26.1%) and carboxin + thiram (13.5 and 24.8%) compared to other treatments. The treatments, hexaconazole +captan and tebuconazole recorded significantly more pod yield (737 and 707 kg/ha−1) and haulm yield (1340 and 1299 kg/ha−1). However, seed treatment with tebuconazole resulted in highest cost benefit ratio of 1:7.5 followed by hexaconazole + captan with 1:5.2.
