Compatibility of Pleurotus florida (oyster mushroom) with systemic and non-systemic fungicides invitro conditions

In order to evaluate the effects of different systemic and non-systemic fungicides on the growth of Pleurotus florida (oyster mushroom), an experiment was conducted during 2022-23 at Mushroom Laboratory, Polytechnic in Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Deesa, Gujarat.Thetreatment consisted of six different systemic fungicides viz.Thiophanate methyl (70% WP), Hexaconazole (5% EC), Propiconazole (25% EC).Carboxin (75% WP), Carbendazim (25% EC), Tebuconazole (25% WG) with 100, 250 and 500 ppm concentration and four non-systemic fungicidesviz Captan (50 WP), Mancozeb (75 WP), Chlorothalonil (75 WP), Copperoxychloride (50 WP) with 250, 500 and 1000 ppm concentrations.The compatibility of P. florida with different systemic and nonsystemic fungicides which were tested in factorial CRD replicated thrice.Among the six systemic fungicides, carbendazim 25% EC recorded the highest colony diameter at 100, 250, and 500 ppm (75.67, 30.33, and 22.67 mm, respectively).Among the four non-systemic fungicides, copper oxychloride 50% WP recorded the highest colony diameter at all three concentrations: 49.00, 42.25 and 34.75 mm, respectively.
