Abstract:

In the present study three fungicides viz., copper oxychloride, copper hydroxide and propiconazole and five bioformulations viz., Biotime, TNAU-Pf1, G-Derma, G-Pseudo and Taegro Eco were evaluated in vitro on the rice false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens during 2017. Among the different fungicides and bioformulations tested, copper oxychloride, copper hydroxide and propiconazole showed complete inhibition (100%) of the growth of U. virens followed by 95.95 per cent by Taegro Eco (a Bacillus based bioformulation) after 14 days of inoculation. G-Pseudo, a Pseudomonas based bioformulation recorded the minimum inhibition (61.10%) over control.
