Laboratory tests revealed metalaxyl and propiconazole effectively control pythium aphanidermatum and fusarium oxysporum, indicating their potential for managing ginger rhizome rot.
Key Points
Metalaxyl achieved 100% mycelial growth inhibition against pythium aphanidermatum at 1000 and 2000 µg/ml, showcasing its strong efficacy.
Propiconazole demonstrated complete inhibition of fusarium oxysporum at 2000 µg/ml, suggesting it is highly effective against this pathogen.
The study involved testing four chemical fungicides and a bio-agent at varying concentrations to combat rhizome rot in ginger.
The findings suggest that metalaxyl and propiconazole warrant further validation for effective field management of ginger rhizome rot.
