Abstract : D. halodes [Setosphaeria rostrata] causing leaf blight of Alphonso mango stone grafts, especially on mature leaves, was recorded for the first time in India. Of the various fungicides screened in vitro, Indofil M-45 (0.25 and 0.5%) [mancozeb + thiophanate-methyl] completely inhibited mycelial growth and sporulation of the fungus.
