Abstract

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important economic products of the group of fibers due to volume and value of production. It provides employment and sustenance to a population of nearly 42 Million people, who are involved directly or indirectly in cotton production, processing, textiles and related activities. Looking to the experiment, different fungicides were evaluated in cotton crop under field condition against the boll rot and different diseases. Total seven treatments including control were evaluated in this trial from which, treatment T4 (25.17 PDI) and T5 (28.83PDI) recorded minimum Bacterial leaf blight infection in comparison to the treatment T7 i.e., control (53.67PDI). The lowest boll rot incidence was observed in the treatment T4 (13.67 PDI). The highest seed cotton yield was recorded in the treatment T4 (2401.67 kg/ha), respectively

Conclusion

It is found from the result that the Treatment T4 (Fluxapyroxad 167g/ litre + Pyraclostrobin 333g/ litre SC @ 0.6g/ litre of water) with two sprays first from the initiation of the disease and second after the interval of 15 days recorded the lowest incidence of boll rot and recorded the highest seed cotton yield (2401.67 kg/ha).
