ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted with four date of sowing (45th, 47th , 49th and 51st meteorological week) and spraying of fungicides (carbendazim 0.1%, mancozeb 0.25%, hexaconazole 0.1%, culture filtrates of Trichoderma harzianum 10%, culture filtrates of Trichoderma viride 10%). The crop sown on the 45th MW shows less disease incidence (15.87%) and carbendazim (0.1%) was found most effective fungicides, significantly reduce disease incidence (12.60). Among the various interactions the best interaction of first sowing date at 45th MW along with carbendazim spray recorded significantly minimum disease incidence (11.20%), over control (60.40%). The highest yield (125.30 q ha-1) was observed with the first sowing 45th MW. As far interaction effects concern highest yield (153.77 q ha-1) was obtained in treatment combination of early sowing at 45th MW and spraying of carbendazim 0.1% as compare to control (82.34q ha-1). In vitro evaluation of different fungicides indicated that carbendazim 0.1%, mancozeb 0.25% and hexaconazole 0.1% were found effective in inhibiting the growth of Drechslera maydis.
