Abstract
In the present investigation eight fungicides were tested against the false smut disease of rice during kharif-2016-19. Among the different fungicides evaluated, two sprays of Trifloxystrobin 25% + Tebuconazole 50% (75 WG) at 0.03 per cent (4 gm/10 l) and Propiconazole 25 EC at 0.025 per cent (10 ml/10 l.) applied at booting and post flowering stage were found effective for the management of false smut. The other effective fungicides were Mancozeb 75 WP, Tebuconazole 25.9 EC, Tricyclazole 75 WP, Kresoxim methyl 50 SC, Azoxystrobin 23 SC and Carbendazim 50 WP.
