Abstract

An effective management practice was developed; thirteen fungitoxicants and six phyto-extracts were evaluated under laboratory condition. N. indica was isolated from infected wheat grains. Among the systemic fungicides, Tilt 25 EC at 200 ppm was adjudged best to check mycelia growth and teliospore germination of fungus. In case of non-systemic fungicides, Dithane M- 45 was found highly effective at 2000 ppm. Among the phyto-extracts tested in laboratory, Lantana camara at 75 per cent concentration was found best for growth and teliospore germination inhibition of N. indica.
