Abstract

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the most important fiber crops playing a key role in the economic and social scenario of the globe. India is one of the major cotton growing countries in the world. India ranks first in area and second in the total production of cotton in the world. Cotton is grown worldwide for its natural fiber and oil. Cotton is primarily a raw material for a thriving textile industry and is also one of the most ancient and essential commercial crops, second only to food grains. In the present experiment, different combination products of fungicides were evaluated against the Corynespora cassiicola pathogen of cotton under in vitro condition results revealed that carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP and fluxapyroxad 167g/l + pyraclostrobin 333g/l SC significantly inhibited the growth of the C. cassiicola and proved strongly fungitoxic in nature.
