Abstract
In vitro study of green muscardine fungi with fungicides and botanicals at their recommended doseswas studied. Among the fungicides, carbendazim (0.025 and 0.1%) and formalin (0.4 and 0.8%) inhibited thecomplete growth of Metarhizium anisopliae and Nomuraea rileyi on seventh day of evaluation. The botanicalswere found ineffective against the both the fungi. However, eucalyptus leaf powder 10 per cent (39.76%) andturmeric powder (28.26%) inhibited the maximum growth of Metarhizium anisopliae and Nomuraea rileyi,respectively.
