For the purpose of selecting a suitable seed dressing fungicide for the control of pre-emergence damping off of vegetable crops viz., brinjal, bhendi and tomato caused by Pythium aphanidermatum (Eds.) Fitz., experiments were conducted under field conditions, adopting split plot design with two main plot treatments viz., 1. inoculated ( (with fungus). 2. non inoculated (no fungus) and eight sub-plot treatments (the fungicides) replicated twelve times. The fungicides viz., Cerenox, ESD/AM and ESD/HS were found to be equally efficacious in controlling pre-emergence damping off of Solanum melongena L. (brinjal). In the case of Hibiscus esculentus L. (bhendi), the fungicides viz., Cerenox, Arasan and Ceresan were found to be equally effective in controlling pre-emergence damping off. In controlling pré-emergence damping off of Lycopersicum esculentum Mill. (Tomato), the fungicide ESD/AM was found to be very effective closely followed by Ceresan and Cerénox.
