Abstract

The pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), is one of the ancient and highly praised favorite fruit belong family Lythraceae of Myrtales order which is mainly grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In recent years for there are many constraints for successful cultivation of pomegranate, among them, pest and diseases are the major ones. Common pathogens of pomegranate leaf and fruits include Alternaria fruit spot, Anthracnose and Cercospora leaf spot and these pathogens cause severe loss to pomegranate crop. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out to know the effect of Isopyrazam 12.5% + Difenoconazole 12.5% w/v (250 SC) against anthracnose, leaf spots and fruit rot of pomegranate during 2017–18 and 2018–2019 at College of Horticulture, Hiriyur. Experimental results revealed that all the treatments significantly reduced the leaf spots and fruit rot disease severity over untreated control. Amongst all the treatments in both season (2017–18 and 2018–19) Isopyrazam 12.5% + Difenoconazole 12.5% w/v (250 SC)@ 1 ml/liter was most effective in management of Alternaria fruit spot (3.1 and 2.4 PDI), anthracnose (3.8 and 3.2 PDI) and Cercospora leaf spot (3.6 and 3.65 PDI) respectively which was followed by the same fungicide @ 0.8 ml/lit, which was next best in the management of Alternaria fruit spot (3.4and 2.8 PDI), anthracnose (4.5 and 3.6 PDI) and Cercospora leaf spot (4.6 and 4.4 PDI) respectively when compared to the other treatments and high yield level of 11.0 kg/plant and 11.4 kg/plant was recorded in Isopyrazam 12.5% + Difenoconazole 12.5% w/v (250 SC) @ 1 ml/liter during 2017–18 and 2018–19 respectively.
