Abstract: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crop is attacked by a various seed and soil borne fungal pathogen as well as other pathogen, under field condition as well as during storage, causing economical losses. Therefore present in vitro investigation was planned to assess the efficacy of five fungicides and five botanicals against major seed borne fungi of groundnut. The present investigation result revealed that all the fungicides and botanicals exhibited significant mycelial growth inhibition of six major seed borne fungi viz., Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia bataticola, Sclerotium rolfsii and Alternaria alternata of groundnut. However, the fungicides viz., Carbendazim 50% WP, Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP, Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5 % WS, Captain 70% + Hexaconazole 5% and Thiophanate methyl 450 g/l + Pyraclostrobin 50 g/l FS and botanicals viz., Azadirachta indica (Leaf extract), Allium sativum (Clove extract), Ocimum sanctum (Leaf extract),Curcuma longa (Rhizome extract) and Zingiber officinale (Rhizome extract). Result revealed from fungicides 100 per cent growth inhibition of Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia bataticola and Sclerotium rolfsii. Among the botanicals Allium sativum (Clove extract) showed 100% growth inhibition in all pathogens. Rests of botanicals also were found effective.
