Abstract
Streptomycine sulphate, Agrimycin-l00 and Vitavax, in that order, were the most effective while Nemispore Pencozeb, Sandofan-M, Cuperosan and Beam were relatively less effective in inhibiting the culture of Xanthomonascampestris pv. malvacearum. Vitavax, Nemispore, Pencozeb, Sandofan M and Cuperosan at 0.01 percent concentration exhibited no activity against the bacterium while Beam displayed no effectiveness even at 0.2 per cent concentration. Foliar application of Streptomycine sulphate only reduced 29.64 per cent disease sever ity over the non sprayed inoculated control.
