Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to manage foliar blight (Phytophthora spp.) of bell pepper in the
research field of GPCAR from February to August 2020 in a randomized completely blocked
design with three replications and seven treatments including control. The treatments consist of
foliar spray of Moximate 72% WP (Cymoxanil 8% + Mancozeb 64%), Amistar top 29.6% SL
(Azoxystrobin a.i. 18.2% + Difenoconazole a.i. 11.4%), Tebuconazole 25% WG, Ridomil Gold
(Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64%), Difenoconazole 25% EC, SAAF (Carbendazim 12% +
Mancozeb 63%) and Control. The treatments were applied after the initial symptoms appeared
and disease parameters were recorded at 60, 75, and 90 days after transplantation and fruits were
harvested at weekly intervals. Moximate were recorded as least diseases severity with high fruit
yield as compared to the control and Tebuconazole and Amistar top showed satisfactory result
whereas Ridomil gold and SAAF did not perform well. Therefore, Moximate is the bestrecommended fungicide while Tebuconazole and Amistar top could be the best alternative for
the management of foliar blight of bell pepper.
