Abstract: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the important fruit crops which is nowadays is highly threatened by the wilt caused by Ceratocystis fimbriata. Six non systemic and seven systemic fungicides were evaluated in vitro against Ceratocystis fimbriata. Among non systemic fungicides, mancozeb 63% + carbendazim 12% was found to be most effective and significantly superior over all other treatments with respect to per cent inhibition of mycelial growth. Among systemic fungicides, the mycelial growth of the fungus was inhibited 100 per cent by hexaconazole and propiconazole at 0.025% concentrations. While all other systemic fungicides inhibited the mycelia growth completely at 0.1 per cent concentration.
