In vitro and In vivo Evaluation of Fungicides, against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum Causing Anthracnose of Mungbean

Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is a popular pulse crop, second only to chickpea and pigeon pea, and is grown in many parts of the world. Mungbean belongs to family Leguminosae. In the suitable condition bean is attacked by various diseases. Out of which, anthracnose caused by seed borne pathogen Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is an important fungal disease and major limiting factor for yield loss. Realizing the potentiality of the disease in causing economic losses, the different fungicides are tested against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum among the fungicides Difenoconazole 25% EC, Carbendazim 50% WP, Metiram 70% WG, Propiconazole 25% EC, Pyraclostrobin 20% WP Propineb 70% WP, Carbendazim 12% WP+ Mancozeb 63% WP, Hexaconazole 5% EC respectively.
