Abstract

The experiment on “Efficacy of fungicides against betelvine wilt” was conducted in the year 2008-10 at Betelvine Research Scheme, Oilseeds Research Station, Jalgaon under pot culture as well as field conditions. The applications of various fungicides were done by dipping of cuttings of cultivar Kapoori in respective fungicidal solution as well as soil application by drenching at bimonthly interval up to six months. The pooled data of three years revealed that application of carbendazim @ 0.2% was found significantly effective for management of Rhizoctonia wilt of betelvine up to six months after planting in pot culture (27.41% ) as well as field condition (25.65%) while the Bordeaux mixture @ 0.4% was found next effective fungicide against Rhizoctonia wilt up to six months after planting in pot culture and field condition as against control which recorded 42.96 % and 28.54% incidence of Rhizoctonia wilt in pot culture and field condition, respectively.
