Abstract

The present study was undertaken to study the effect of copper oxychloride on Fusarium solani causing rhizome rot of Ginger. The production is affected by heavy economic loss by rhizome rot therefore; to control this disease different fungicides were tested against Fusarium solani and the fungicide Copper oxychloride was found effective against fungal growth causing rhizome rot of Ginger. The fungicide Copper oxychloride was tested at different concentrations i.e., 0.0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3% in vitro against Fusarium solani. The growth was 5.00 mm on 1st day and 74.00 mm at 7th day incubation period at 0.1% conc. of fungicide. At 0.15% growth was 61.00 mm, 38.00 mm at 0.2%, 27.00 mm at 0.25% and 5.00 mm at 0.3 % on 7th day of incubation period. In the present finding it was observed that 0.3% concentration of Copper oxychloride was most effective in controlling the growth of Fusarium solani causing rhizome rot of ginger.
