Abstract

The current investigation results showed that all six fungicides were examined compared to the untreated control and demonstrated antifungal efficacy against the test pathogen (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz). Six fungicides were evaluated against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in laboratory conditions and the results showed that all of them significantly inhibited the pathogen’s growth. Mycelial growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was totally (100% inhibition) inhibited by Propiconazole (0.1%), Copper Oxychloride (0.2%), and Difenoconazole (0.1%). These fungicides were followed by Thiophanate Methyl (0.1%) and Carbendazim (12%) + Mancozeb (0.2 %) showed 92.22 and 86.67 percent inhibition, respectively. Whereas Mancozeb (0.25%), with 31.11 percent inhibition, proved less effective than the rest of the fungicides.
