Abstract:
Tomato (
Lycopersicon esculentum Miller) crop suffers from several diseases, among which wilting caused by
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
lycopersici is one of the serious diseases observed regularly in tomato growing areas. Therefore, efforts were made to evaluate the efficacy of
different systemic fungicides
in vitro against
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
lycopersici by poisoned food technique. Among the seven systemic fungicides tested
in vitro, against
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
lycopersici, carbendazim and hexaconazole at all three different concentrations (@ 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm)
showed complete (100%) mycelial inhibition, followed by tebuconazole (95.06%), difenconazole (92.65%), propiconazole (89.94%) and thiophanate methyl (62.28%), respectively. The pyraclostrobin was found less effective with 44.93% mycelial inhibition over untreated control.
