Abstract: Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) is being affected by several fungal diseases. Among the all diseases, the leaf spot caused by Curvularia hawaiiensis has been gaining importance in recent years by causing considerable losses in high yielding varieties and hybrids, than native cultivars. It reduces the productivity of pearl millet and became a major limiting factor in pearl millet cultivation. Therefore, present in vitro study was planned and conducted, in 10 treatments replicated thrice, to assess the efficacy of new fungicides against Curvularia hawaiiensis, at the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Dhule, during 2018-19. Results revealed that the fungicides Mancozeb recorded maximum growth inhibition (88.22%) and found significantly superior over rest of the fungicidal treatment followed by Hexaconazole (76.33%), Copper oxychloride (65.55%), Azoxystrobin (47.11%), Carbendazim (61.11%) and Captan (50.44%). Among the all fungicides the minimum growth inhibition 32.22% recorded in Tebuconazole + Trifloxystrobin.
