EVALUATION OF FUNGICIDES AGAINST TURCIUM LEAF BLIGHT OF MAIZE CAUSED BY EXSEROHILUM TURCICUM

View through CrossRef
Northern Leaf Blight of Maize (NLBM) is a serious disease of Maize crop in Pakistan. The disease causes heavy losses in maize crop every year. To avoid this loss, a research experiment was conducted to check the efficacy of four fungicides and one control against Turcicum Leaf Blight of maize. The experiment was tested against the maize variety Malka-2016. The trial was conducted at Research Area of Plant Pathology Research Institute, Faisalabad, from 2021 to 22. The result of experiment showed that DithaneM-45 (Mancozeb), Tilt 25%EC (propiconazole), Score 25% EC (Difenaconazole), and Topsin-M70%WP (Thiophenate Methyl) significantly reduced the northern leaf blight disease of Maize and increase the yield.  Dithane M45(Mancozeb) controlled the disease by 86% over control ,followed by Tilt (Propiconazole) by 79%, Score (Difenaconazole) by 71 %, and the least effective fungicide was Topsin-M 70% WP (Thiophenate Methyal) which control the disease by 68%.
