Abstract
<p><em>Six fungicides at three rates i.e. one and half, one and half of recommended rates (1.5x, 1.0x and 0.5x mg a.i/ml) were evaluated on the spores of Fusarium pallidoroseum isolated from castor (Ricinus communis) in vitro. It was observed that the fungicides (Benomyl, Benomyl + Thiram, Mancozeb, Metalaxyl-M + Thiomethoxan + Difenoconazole, Tricyclazole and Carbendazim + Mancozeb) at all the concentrations tested it inhibited sporulation of the fungus. Benomyl, Benomyl + Thiram and Tricyclazole completely inhibited sporulation at 1.5x, 1.0x and 0.5x mg a.i/ml. Metalaxyl-M + Thiomethoxan + Difenoconazole, Carbendazim + Mancozeb partially inhibited sporulation only at 1.5x mg a.i/ml, not at 1.0x and 0.5x mg a.i/ml. The inhibitory effect of all the fungicides on sporulation was greatest at 1.5x mg a.i/ml. </em></p>
