Field evaluation of fungicides against Colletotrichum sorghi (Cesati.) Wilson causing anthracnose of sorghum
Author(s): NS Chavda and KK Kanzaria
Abstract: The efficacy of different seven fungicides were tested under field condition against Colletotrichum sorghi (Cesati.)Wilson causing anthracnose of sorghum. All the fungicides tested were significantly reduced disease as compared to the control. The minimum per cent disease intensity (PDI) (25.55) was recorded in the treatment of carbendazim 50% WP at 0.025% and was found significantly superior over rest of the treatments. The results indicated that benomyl 50% WP at 0.025% recorded 44.07 PDI but it was remained at par with propiconazole 25% EC at 0.025% (47.40 PDI) in reducing anthracnose disease. While, picoxystrobin 22.52% SC at 0.025% followed by chlorothalonil 75% WP at 0.20% were found less effective and remained statistically at par. The control treatment recorded 97.04 PDI. The maximum per cent disease reduction over control (73.67%) was recorded in carbendazim treated plots followed by benomyl 54.58%. The highest dry fodder yield of sorghum 8014 kg ha-1 was obtained in carbendazim treated plots and was remained statistically at par with benomyl with 7773 kg ha-1 of dry fodder yield.
