Abstract
Fight seed-applied and 16 foliar-applied fungicides were evaluated for control of Karnal bunt [caused by Tilletia indica] of wheat. Control (> 80%) was obtained with two applications of either propiconazole or etaconazole or four applications of mancozeb or copper hydroxide when these fungicides were applied to wheat [Triticum aestivum] plants at Feeke''s growth stage 10.0-10.5. Best control by propiconazole and etaconazole was obtained when they were applied 72 hr after inoculation rather than before inoculation. None of the systemic fungicides applied to seed reduced Karnal bunt infection.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
