Abstract

In the present study, seven fungicides and their combinations were evaluated against the grey leaf blight disease of mango. Minimum disease intensity (%) and maximum disease control (%) was achieved with the spray of carbendazim+mancozeb (0.2 % @ 2.0 g l-1) and kresoxim methyl (0.1 % @ 1.0 ml l-1) against grey leaf blight disease of mango. Carbendazim 12%+mancozeb 63% was found significantly superior over rest of the treatments with minimum grey leaf blight intensity (8.07 %) followed by kresoxim methyl 43% SC (10.67%). Copper oxychloride 50% WP was found to be the next best treatment in order of effectiveness which was at par with cymoxanil 8%+mancozeb 64 % (12.74 %).
