FOLIAR SPRAY OF FUNGICIDES AND THEIR EFFECT ON INCIDENCE OF DIE BACK DISEASE AND YIELD OF RED CHILLI

Abstract

Eight fungicides were evaluated in vivo for their effectiveness to combat die- back disease of chilli incited by Colletotrichum capsici by prophylactic spray. All the fungicides were significantly superior over control in reducing the disease incidence but three sprays of Indofil M-45 (0.25% ) was found superior over all the treatments which produced least incidence of dic-back and yielded maximum. This treatment was followed by three sprays of Difolatan (0.25% and Bavistin (0.05%).
