Abstract
Among four fungicides, viz. metalaxyl (two formulations), fosetyl-Al, pro-pamocarb and cyomaxanil tested in vitro against sporangial germination inhibition of Sclerospora graminicola, cyomaxanil was found to be most inhibitory. In an artificially contaminated plot, when used as seed treatment or foliar spray for the control of downy mildew of pearl millet, only metalaxyl was effective. Metalaxyl 25 (Ridomil) and metalaxyl 35 (Apron) seed treatments protected the pearl millet plants from downy mildew up to 30 days. As a foliar spray, metalaxyl 25 used once at 20 days or twice after 20 and 38 days of plant growth gave less disease at harvest time. Seed treatment (metalaxyl 25 or 35) followed by one metalaxyl 25 spray was found to be effective in controlling the downy mildew. These treatments improved the growth of plants and yield significantly.
