In this experiment, different districts of South Gujarat were closely examined for the presence of wilt disease in different cultivars/ Bt hybrids during the crop season to know the current scenario of wilt disease. The respective FOV wilt pathogen was purified, identified and isolated from the infected cotton plant. Here, different fungicides were tested for their effect on the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV) using poisoned food technique. The technique involves cultivation of test organism on a medium containing the test chemical. In all the experiments, PDA was used as basal medium. Fungicides viz., six non systemic and six systemic fungicides were evaluated at three different concentrations by poisoned food technique for evaluating their efficacy against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum. Among them, non systemic fungicides copper oxychloride and systemic fungicides carbendazim significantly inhibited the growth of the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum and proved strongly fungitoxic in nature against the FOV pathogen.
