Abstract
Among all the tested fungicides, difenconazole was found to be most effective followed by tebuconazole and propiconzole as it showed EC50 value of 1.7, 3.3 5.8 μm/mL, respectively and completely inhibited the growth of the pathogen even at 25 mg/mL. However, turmeric rhizome and garlic clove extract were inhibited about 70.0 per cent growth of the pathogen at 20 per cent concentration. Garlic oil at 1000 μg/mL whereas lemon grass, ginger, palmarosa and tulsi oils at 2000 μg/m completely inhibited the mycelial growth of the pathogen. The EC50 value for garlic oil was very low 290 μg/mL.
