  EVALUATION OF FUNGICIDES AGAINST ASCOCHYTA GRAM BLIGHT

M. BASHIR* AND M. BASHIR ILYAS

Abstract: Out of 9 fungicides tested In Vitro Tecto-60 inhibited mycelial growth of Ascochyta rabiei followed by Chlorothalonil, Karathane, Benlate, Dithane M-45 and Vitavax. Brassicol, Afugan and Bayleton were moderately effective. Tecto-60 inhibited mycelial growth at a dosage rate of 5 Mg/ml. When used as foliar spray Tecto-60 and Chlorothalonil reduced the pod and seed infection by A. rabiei. Tecto-60 gave maximum increase in seed yield (78%) followed by Chlorothalonil (61%) and Benlate (58%). Karathane was phytotoxic.
