Competitive saprophytic ability of the sorghum stalk rot pathogens in fungicide amended soilsR KKarunakarauthorKSatyaprasadauthorSPandeauthorThe competitive saprophytic ability (CSA) of the four sorghum stalk rot pathogens was estimated. Presence of fungicides in the soil as residues showed a profound effect iu reducing their CSA. Aureofungin has drastically reduced the CSA of all the stalk rot pathogens while carbendazim, quintazene and chloronab had severe effect. Methoxv ethvl mercuric chloride had the least effect.Sorghum1994Indian Society of Mycology and Plant PathologyArticle
