Management of Spot Blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) of Wheat Using Systemic Fungicides

All the 10 treatments imposed improved yield and 1000-grain weight to a greater extent as compared to control. The fungicide seed treatment with vitavax power+Tilt (propiconazole) two spray performed best followed by folicur (tebuconazol) and Taspa (propiconazole 13.9%+ difenconazole13.9%). However, in different categories, seed treatment with vitavax power and flusilazole 40EC were the succeeding treatments effective against spot blotch of wheat. The yield of propiconazole, tebuconazole and Taspa (propiconazole 13.9% + difenconazole 13.9%) sprayed plots were significantly superior over control indicating marked influence of the spot blotch on yield. The 1000-grain weight was also significant in the above said treated plots compared to other treatments. Almost similar result was obtained in case of plant height (cm), spike length (cm.), number of tillers/plant.
