In vitro evaluation of seed dressing fungicides against seed borne diseases ofBt cotton by paper towel method

Abstract

The research experiment was conducted in laboratory during 2020 to test the efficacy of different seed dressingfungicides against seed borne fungal infections in Bt cotton (DCH-32) by using paper towel method. The results of theexperiment revealed the least per cent seed infection of 9.33 per cent was noticed in seed treatment with carboxin 37.5% WS+ thiram 37.5% WS @ 2 g/ kg of seed and next best treatment was seed treatment with penflufen 13.28% w/w FS +trifloxystrobin 13.28% w/w FS @ 2 g/ kg of seed with seed infection of 12 per cent as compare to control with per cent seedinfection of 32.67
