Abstract : The effects of different fungicides (mancozeb at 0.10, 0.15 and 0.25%; copper oxychloride at 0.25%; copper hydroxide at 0.25; and carbendazim at 0.10%) in controlling mango cv. Ratna diseases were investigated in 1998 in Maharashtra, India. The fungicides 0.1% carbendazim 75 WP and 0.1% carbendazim liquid were the most effective in controlling anthracnose [Glomerella cingulata] and red rust [Cephaleuros virescens] disease of mango compared to the other fungicide treatments. However, for controlling pink disease, 0.25% copper oxychloride 50 WP was the most effective fungicide. The new formulations mancozeb and carbendazim in liquid or WP form have a broad spectrum effect, thus can be used as common treatment for control of anthracnose, pink and red rust disease in mango.
