Author(s): Khatal MP, Thakare CS and HN Markad
Abstract: 3Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) is being affected by several fungal diseases. However, leaf spot, caused by Curvularia hawaiiensis has been leaf spot is 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 study was planned and conducted in vivo, the experiment was planned and conducted in RBD with seven treatments replicated thrice, at the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Dhule (MS), during 2018-19. The in vivo studies showed that Mancozeb @ 0.3% recorded maximum percent disease control (88.30%) and were found significantly superior over rest of fungicidal treatments. The next best treatment was Hexaconazole @ 0.1% with (70.76%) percent disease control, followed by the treatment Copper oxychloride @ 0.2% with (53.22%) percent disease control. While Azoxystrobin @ 0.05%, Carbendazim @ 0.1% and Captan @ 0.2% with (41.93%), (38.69%) and (35.96%) showed percent disease control respectively.
