Title: Efficacy of fungicides and bioagents against Colletotrichum melongenae causing fruit rot of Brinjal
Abstract: The efficacy of eight fungicides and seven bioagents (fungal and yeast) was assayed in vitro against Colletotrichum melongenae causing fruit rot of brinjal. Among the eight fungicides, carbendazim (0.1%), propicollazole (0.1%) and hexaconazol (0.1%) were found most effective, which inhibited cent per cent growth of Colletotrichum melongenae followed by thiophanate methyl (0.1%), captan (0.25%) copper oxychloride (0.25%), chlorothalonil (0.25%) and mancozeb (0.25%) with 82.22, 80.56, 71.11, 70.0 and 32.22 percent growth inhibition over control respectively. Among the seven bioagents tested, Saccharomyces cervisae yeast straill-2 recorded highest growth inhibition 85.56% followed by yeast strain-I, T. harzianum, T. longiforum, T. viride, T. hamatum and T. koningii with 82.78, 75.00, 65.56, 53.89, 51.22 and 45.56 percent growth inhibition over control respectively.
