Abstract : Precure Combi and Derosal completely inhibited the mycelial growth of Lasiodiplodia theobromae by food poisoning technique even at 10 ppm concentration while Topsin-M produced the same result at 25 ppm. Aliette and Copper Oxychloride were ineffective in checking the vegetative growth of the pathogen. Topsin-M significantly controlled the disease in Green House experiment and under field conditions if applied after scratching the diseased portion of the infected plants. All the fungicides remained ineffective when applied directly on the diseased plants.
