Abstract
Colletotrichum gleosporioides Penz. was isolated from the leaves of citrus suffering from anthracnose disease. In vitro efficacy of four fungicides viz. Acrobat MZ, Dithan M-45, Aliette and Ridomil Gold was evaluated against the isolated fungal species in Basal Broth medium. Different doses of the test fungicides viz. recommended (R), 0.50R and 0.25R were employed in the experiment. All the employed doses of the Dithane significantly reduced the biomass of the test fungal species. Similarly 0.5R and 0.25R Ridomil Gold significantly reduced the test fungal biomass. In contrast to that Aliette and Acrobat MZ found ineffective against the test fungal species.
