FIELD EVALUATION OF FUNGICIDES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF CERCOSPORA LEAF SPOT IN BLACKGRAMRANGANATHSWAMY MATH, ARJUNSINH RATHAVA AND M.R. DABHIAbstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different fungicides on the management of Cercospora leaf spot in black gram. The investigation was carried out for two years at experimental field of College of Agriculture, A.A.U., Jabugam, Gujarat. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Fungicides were applied two times at 15 days interval after initiation of disease and results showed that among the tested treatments including control, Hexaconazole @ 0.1 % recorded a much lower per cent disease index (17.85%) which was at par with Azoxystrobin 23 SC @ 0.023% (17.93%) and they were significantly superior over control. The maximum mean grain yield was recorded from plots treated with Azoxystrobin 23 SC @ 0.023% (1817 kg/ha) followed by Hexaconazole 5 EC @ 0.1% (1698 kg/ha), while lowest mean grain yield (1256 kg/ha) was obtained from untreated control plots. |
