Abstract : The efficacy of fungicides against powdery mildew (Oidium mangiferae) of mango (cv. Dusehri) was evaluated in Pakistan. Score 250EC (difenoconazole) and Anpower 5ME (hexaconazole) were the most effective in reducing the disease incidence (93.28 and 86.87% reduction, respectively) over the non-sprayed control. Pre-cure Combi (thiophanate-methyl + diethofencarb) and Thionill (thiophanate-methyl) were comparatively effective in reducing powdery mildew incidence (83.38 and 79.83% reduction, respectively, over the non-sprayed control).
