  White rot caused by a soil borne fungus (Sclerotium cepivorum Berk.) is a major production threat of garlic, where ever the crop is grown. The objectives of this study were evaluating the effectiveness of fungicides against garlic white rot, and to determine the cost effectiveness of the fungicides on management of garlic white rot. Field experiment was conducted at Mekelle Agricultural Research Center on garlic white rot naturally infested field in 2010 main crop season. Three fungicides (tebuconazole, captan and mancozeb) were used as a clove treatment. A randomized complete block design with three replications was employed. A total of four treatments were evaluated per replication. All fungicides were effective in reducing the disease epidemics and improving garlic yield over untreated plot. However, among fungicide treated plots tebuconazole was the most effective in reducing the .. View More»
