ABSTRACT
Two fungicides namely Tilt 250 EC (Propiconazole 500 ppm) and Ridomil 72 wp (Metalaxyl 1140 ppm) and two organic soil amendments namely ash and sesame oil cake (@ 2% kg-1 soil) were tested as means of control measure against foot rot of brinjal at two growth stages of plants in a field experiment during Kharif-I and Kharif-II (wet) season. Ridomil 72 wp was less effective than Tilt 250 EC in percent inhibition of linear growth (mm) of S. rolfsii in vitro. All the disease control treatments were significantly effective in controlling foot rot, with highest percent plant recovered by Tilt 250 EC applied as curative as well as preventive measure. Tilt 250 EC also significantly reduced percent infection when used as preventive measure. Among the organic soil amendments, ash was better even than Ridomil at early flowering stage and equally effective with sesame oil cake at peak fruiting stage as curative control measure. Sesame oil cake was better as preventive control measure of foot rot at peak fruiting stage.
