Abstract: Wheat is the prime most staple harvest, placed next only to rice. Decreased production of wheat in the major wheat growing countries may be accredited to pervasiveness of Karnal Bunt disease. The major impact of Karnal Bunt is yield reduction and decrease in quality of grain and makes it inedible. Karnal Bunt is difficult to control due to its intermittent nature. The incidence of disease can be effectively reduced by the application of foliar fungicides. The present study highlights a brief outline of the fungicidal application for control of Karnal Bunt disease. The efficacy of seven fungicides viz; Tilt 250, Folicur, Bavistin, Thiram, Vitavax, Benlate and Dithane M-75 of different groups tested in-vitro against Neovossia indica following the food poison technique, out of seven, two fungicides viz; Tilt 250EL and Folicur to be the most effective as they have inhibited the fungal growth completely. The fungicides found effective against the pathogen in-vitro, were further tested for controlling the disease under field conditions by foliar application. Results revealed that the tilt 250 EL (0.2%) most effective followed by folicur and Bavistin although at par.
