Abstract

In the present study, Six fungicides were evaluated in vitro against the test fungus (Sclerotium rolfsii) by using poisoned food technique (Nene and Thapliyal, 1983) [4]. Potato Dextrose Agar medium was used as basal medium. Three replications per treatment were maintained. Among the fungicides, propiconazole and Metalaxyl + mancozeb at (0.1%), mancozeb (0.25%) totally inhibited mycelial growth and sclerotia formation of pathogen.
