Abstract

The influence of tricyclazole and other fungicides on the seed germination, seedling length, dry matter production and vigour index in rice was studied under slurry and dry conditions. Slurry treatment of seeds with carbendazim and tricyclazole (2 g/kg) significantly increased the seed germination, seedling length, dry matter productioin and vigour index than the other fungicides like mancozeb, thiram and captan. Slurry treatment was better than dry seed treatment. Tricylazole at 2 g/kg favourably increased all the parameters compared to 4 g/kg under slurry treatment. Under dry seed treatment both levels had more or less an uniform influence.
