Field
trials were carried out during 1986 and 1987 in the Kotgarh area of Himachal
Pradesh to evaluate 4 treatments (soil drenches with Bavistin (carbendazim),
Topsin-M [thiophanate-methyl] or Captaf [captan] and aureofungin applied
as a soil drench or as a spray) for control of white root rot
of apples, caused by Dematophora[Rosellinia] necatrix.
All treatments reduced the disease incidence compared with an untreated
control, with carbendazim and
aureofungin + copper sulfate more effective than Topsin-M or Captaf. Max. leaf area and yield was obtained
following treatment with aureofungin + copper sulfate drench.
