Effectiveness of Fungicidal Treatments Against Berseem Disease

Key Points

This research aims to assess the effectiveness of various fungicides against berseem rottening.
Conducted in Rabi seasons from 2011 to 2014 at Adaptive Research Farm, Gujranwala.
Utilized a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) for the experiments.
Tested fungicides included Propineb, Metiram, Thiophenate-Methyl, and Fostyl-Aluminium.
Thiophenate-Methyl achieved maximum disease control rates of 14.17%, 6.85%, and 15.86% over three seasons.
Propineb followed with control rates of 12.91%, 6.10%, and 13.86%.
Metiram showed the lowest effectiveness at 9.18%, 4.13%, and 10.03%.
All fungicides contributed to disease management, but Thiophenate-Methyl was highlighted as the most effective.

Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of selected fungicides—Propineb (@1250 g/ha), Metiram (@625 g/ha), Thiophenate-Methyl (@500 g/ha), and Fostyl-Aluminium (@500 g/ha)—against berseem rottening at the Adaptive Research Farm, Gujranwala, during the Rabi seasons of 2011–12, 2012–13, and 2013–14. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used for the experiments. Maximum disease control was achieved with Thiophenate-Methyl (14.17%, 6.85%, and 15.86% over the three seasons), followed by Propineb (12.91%, 6.10%, 13.86%), Fostyl-Aluminium (11.01%, 6.07%, 12.08%), and Carbendazim (12.33%, 5.60%, 11.29%). Metiram showed the lowest control (9.18%, 4.13%, and 10.03%) compared to the untreated control (0%). While all tested fungicides contributed to disease management, Thiophenate-Methyl proved to be the most effective and economical option for controlling berseem rottening under the experimental conditions
