ABSTRACT
During raising of papaya seedlings in nursery from seeds, many soil borne pathogens viz., Pythium spp.
causes infection as pre-emergence damping off and post-emergence damping off in which seeds rot in the soil and the
seedlings collapse and die after emergence respectively. It was the major problem faced by farmers in papaya growing area.
During the present study 10 commercial fungicide and 4 bio-agents were evaluated in nursery by drenching the polythene
bags with fungicides and bio-agents solutions two days before sowing. Observations recorded of died seedlings at 15th and
20th days after sowing. Among all the commercial fungicides and bio-agents Hexacanazole and Propicanazole were found
most effective.
