Abstract
Six different fungicides viz. Benlate, Dithane M-45, Captan, Metalexyl, Thiram and Vitavax were evaluated against seed-borne Macrophomina phaseolina ofmungbean in in vitro. Among them, Benlate, Dithane M-45 and Thiram found to be highly effective. Thereafter, these three fungicides were evaluated as seed dresser of mungbean against M. phaseolina in blotter method and in pot with sterilized soil. In both blotter and pot, the three fungicides were able to control seed-borne M. phaseolina effectively including increase germination significantly.
