CHEMICAL CONTROL OF LASIODIPLODIA THEOBROMAE, THE CAUSAL AGENT OF MANGO DECLINE IN SINDH MUHAMMAD ALI KHANZADA, A. MUBEEN LODHI AND SALEEM SHAHZAD
Abstract: Mycelial growth of Lasiodiplodia theobromae was significantly
inhibited by Carbendazim and Thiophanate-methyl when used @ 1 ppm a.i.
or more. Alliete was effective at relatively high concentrations i.e.,
@ 1000 and 10000 ppm a.i., whereas, Copxykil, Cuprocaffaro and Thiovit
failed to inhibit the mycelial growth of L. theobromae. In field
experiment, Carbendazim was found to be more effective than Thiophanate-methyl
and Alliete in reducing the fungal infection in mango plants, suppressing
the gum exudation, dieback and wilting resulting in significant enhancement
in vegetative growth of plants. Pest & Disease Research Lab., Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan. |
