Abstract
The present investigation, bioefficacy of fungicides for management of blossom blight of mangoâwas carried during 2012-13 in the Department of Plant Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology, MPKV, Rahuri. Three non-systemic (one combination of product) and two systemic fungicides were tested against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides for radial growth inhibition on the potato dextrose agar media using poisoned food technique under in-vitro condition. Among fungicides carbendazim+ mancozeb was found to be most effective which inhibited 89.66 per cent growth of the fungus at 0.1% concentration. Similarly, 89.38 per cent inhibition was observed in case of mancozeb at 0.25 per cent concentration, followed by carbendazim (86.32%) at 0.1% concentration. This was followed by propineb (58.57%) at 0.3% and thiophanate methyl (57.35%) at 0.1 percent concentration.
