ABSTRACT
Various fungicidal chemicals were evaluated against the fusarium wilt of cucumber disease. Firstly chemicals were evaluated under lab conditions and the best resulted fungicides were applied in field conditions and significant disease incidence reduction had been recorded as compared to control. Five chemicals namely redomil, score, copper oxychloride, cabriotop, antracol and a control were applied in lab conditions in three concentrations 1%, 0.5% and 0.25% following randomized complete block design (RCBD). Maximum growth inhibition of fungus mycelia was expressed by redomil (1.53cm) followed by score (1.66cm), copper oxychloride (1.75cm), cabriotop (1.79cm), and antracol (1.90cm) as compared to control (3.49cm). Hence redomil (1.53cm) and score (1.66cm) gave maximum inhibition under lab conditions these were applied to highly susceptible Local variety in same concentrations and same design cultivated in Research Area of the Department of Plant Pathology University of Agriculture Faisalabad. Redomil (47.50%) expressed minimum disease incidence and score (49.72%) as compared to control in field (55.0%).
