Evaluation of two organosynthetic fungicides, for the control of powdery mildew on infested exotic peas (Pisum sativum L)

Abstract

Organosynthetic fungicides namely captan, and thiram were evaluated at three (3) rates for the control of powdery mildew, caused by Erysiphe polygoni on infected seed of Pisum stativum L. Results indicated that the two fungicides inhibited Ersiphe polygoni DC. Conidia germination and diseases index to various degrees in vitro, depending on the concentration applied. Results showed an increase in yield of treated seeds as compared to control.
