Banana suffers from several diseases at all the stages of its life. Finger rot and fruit rot caused by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.) Griffth and Maubl are the most important diseases in field as well as post-harvest of banana fruits. In this study, the antifungal activity of total seven fungicides was tested under in-vitro condition against L. theobromae and under in-vivo condition. The results of present study showed that six fungicides at all tested concentrations were a significantly check the fungal growth. At lowest tested concentration (250 ppm) carbendazim and propiconazole were completely inhibited fungal growth. Copper oxychloride at all tested three concentration were stimulated the mycelia growth of L.theobromae. Results of field experiment showed that carbendazim @0.5 gL-1 17 and propiconazole @1mlL-1 18 were completely reduce.. View More»
