This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of five systemic and six contact fungicides in vitro for managing Foc, a significant pathogen causing Fusarium wilt in chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.). Using a dual culture technique, the antagonistic capabilities of these fungicides against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri were investigated. Systemic fungicides tested included propiconazole (Tilt), Carbendazim (Bavistin), Kresoxim-methyl+Hexaconazole (Tata ayaan), Hexaconazole (Contaf plus) and Tubeconazole+Sulphur (unspecified), while contact fungicides comprised Zineb (Indofil Z-78), Propineb (Sanipeb), Chlorothalonil (Kavach), Captan (Agrox), Mancozeb (Sparsh) and Copper oxychloride (Bensaan). The inhibition of Foc mycelial growth was evaluated following incubation in a BOD incubator at 25 ± 2°C for 7 days. Results displayed varied efficacy .. View more»
