Abstract
Button shedding preceded by die-back of inflorescence is a severe problem in the areca plantations. Out of 13 fungicides tested in vitro, benomyl (0-1%), captan (0-25%), thiram (0-25%), and a phenyl mercury urea formulation (0 -1%) were highly fungicidal to the mycelial growth of Colleto-trichum gloeosporioides, the casual agent of the disease. Field trials carried out with -even fungicides showed that DMOC (0-1%), heptaene antibiotic (50ppm) + CuSO4 (50ppm), and Zineb (0-4%) in that order, were effective in controlling the malady.
