The six fungicides, carbendazim, propiconazole, carbendazim + mancozeb, copper oxychloride, tebuconazole and azoxystrobin + tebuconazole in different concentrations were evaluated against mycelia growth of the causal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense in vitro by poisoned food technique. Observations were taken at 2 days intervals up to 7th days for the assessment of their inhibitory effects. Among them, novel fungicide carbendazim, propiconazole and carbendazim + mancozeb with 0.1%,0.05% and 0.25% concentrations were found to be most effective against the pathogen followed by copper oxychloride, tebuconazole and azoxystrobin + tebuconazole 0.25%, 0.05% and 0.1% respectively after 7th days of treatment. The pathogen fungus continued to increase up to 7th days showing a radial growth of 90 mm in control.
