Evaluation of fungicides for the control of leaf spot disease of soybean caused by Myrothecium Roridum

The studies were undertaken for the management of Myrothcium leaf spot disease of soybean. carbendazim 0.1%, chlorothalonil 0.25%, dithane M 45 0.25%, copper oxychloride 0.25% and propiconazole 0.1% proved most effective in reducing 100 per cent mycelia growth in vitro. In pot trial the spray of chlorothalonil 0.05% and copper oxychloride 0.25% were effective in reducing the disease and recorded 38.33 and 36.30% pre cent disease control respectively under high disease pressure as 54.07% disease intensity was recorded in control.
