Abstract
An experiment was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of fungicides (Propiconazole, Mancozeb, Carbendazim), bio-agent (Trichoderma harzianum, T. viride) and Neem leaf extract against powdery mildew of fenugreek in the Experimental Field of Department of Plant Pathology, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Allahabad Allahabad during the rabi season 2013- 2014. The experiment was laid out in RBD with six treatments and three replications. In a field assay, propiconazole, as foliar spray to be most effective with minimum per cent disease intensity of leaves and pods. followed by Mancozeb, carbendazim Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride and Neem leaf extract. In a field assay, propiconazole, as foliar spray was most effective with Maximum length of pods (cm) and weight of pods (g) followed by Mancozeb, carbendazim Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride and Neem leaf extract. Maximum yield q/ha was recorded with propiconazole (13.06), as foliar spray was most effective followed by Mancozeb (12.03), carbendazim (11.45), Trichoderma harzianum (10.60), Trichoderma viride (9.81) and Neem leaf extract (9.01).
