Abstract

In vitro efficacy of the systemic fungicide Contaf (Hexaconazole 5 EC) was evaluated at different concentrations i.e., 50, 100, 150, 200 ppm against the fungi Fusarium solani, Curvularia clavata and Trichoderma aureoviride. Increase in the concentration of fungicide lead to the decrease in the mycelial growth of the fungi. At 200 ppm concentration, all the fungi showed drastic growth inhibition. The maximum growth inhibition was showed by Curvularia clavata followed by Trichoderma aureoviride and Fusarium solani.
