Compatibility of Phyton with common fungicides and their role on the yield of safed musli

Abstract

In order to know the compatibility of Phyton (a Phytotonic) with routine fungicides like Captan and GLSTIN (Carbendazim), for the preliminary management of Fusarium solani, a causal organism of tuber-rot of safed musli, the present study was carried out. Among the fungicides, though GLSTIN stood superior, its effect was found inferior to that of Phyton alone. However, the combination of Phyton with GLSTIN @ 0.3% each was proved to be the best in reducing the growth of the fungus. The same combination was also proved its efficiency in the enhancement of the yield of the crop
