Abstract: Wheat is attacked by number of diseases caused by fungi among them rusts are most important caused huge economic damage to wheat crop. Among all three rust, leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina is the most important fungal disease of wheat. The present investigation was formulated to generate the information on spore germination inhibition of Puccinia triticina with different combination of fungicides in laboratory condition. The relative efficacies of eight different fungicides combination were tested in different concentrations viz., 200, 500 and 1000 ppm. The evaluated data indicated that the maximum mean reduction of uredospore germination (84.48%) was found in the treatment of pyraclostrobin 13.3% + epoxyconazole 5% WP followed by tebuconazole 50% + trifloxystrobin 25% WG with 76.34 per cent inhibition, on the other hand cymoxanil 8% + mancozeb 64% WP (71.90%) was found moderately effective fungicide.
