Abstract


Five fungicides namely, Ridomil Gold, Halonil, Alliet, Primacy and Cabrio top were used for the management of downy mildew on muskmelon during the years 2010 and 2011. All the fungicides proved effective against downy mildew. During 2010, Ridomil Gold gave 92.8% disease control, Alliett was at second place giving 91.70% disease control. Halonil, Cabrio top and Primacy gave 91.43%, 90.18% and 89.48% disease control respectively. Almost similar results were achieved during 2011, Ridomil was at top in reducing the disease severity and Cabrio top proved least effective.
