MANAGEMENT OF WHITE ROOT ROT OF APPLE WITH FUNGICIDE DRENCHING


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[Rosellinianecatrix. 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.
