IN VITRO EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT FUNGICIDES AGAINST FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM F. SP. LYCOPERSICI, CAUSING WILT IN TOMATO (SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM L.)Bidwan Ranjan Sahoo, Kartik Chandra Sahu, Ambika Patel1, Raghu S., Bignyan Ranjan Sahoo and Sonali GoudaAbstract The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), is one of the most frequently grown food crops and fusarium wilt is the most significant disease of tomato, which affects every stage of the plant (seedling, blooming, and fruiting), and it reduces yield around 40%. The pathogen was resistant to many fungicides that had previously been employed. To determine the effectiveness of new fungicides on the market, the present investigation used the approach of poisoning food technology. The fungicides tested in-vitro for effectiveness against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici successfully reduced mycelial growth. The two new combi fungicides that were most effective against F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici were Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP and Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% WG at 200 ppm concentration. |
