Abstract: Sorghum belongs to family Poaceae. It is the fifth most important world cereal crop after wheat, rice, maize and barley. Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum graminicola (Ces.) Wilson is one of the most destructive foliar diseases in sorghum. Considering this, the present investigation on effect of different phyto-extracts and systemic, non-systemic and combined fungicides at different concentrations were tested by poisoned food technique in vitro to know their inhibitory effect on the growth of anthracnose pathogen. Garlic clove extract at 10 and 20 per cent concentration showed cent per cent growth inhibition of C. graminicola. Among the systemic fungicides, the cent per cent growth inhibition of the fungus was recorded in carbendazim at 100, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm concentrations and propiconazole at 500 and 1000 ppm concentrations. Among the non-systemic fungicides, the cent per cent growth inhibition of the fungus was recorded in copper oxychloride at 1500, 2000 and 2500 ppm and mancozeb at 2500 ppm concentrations. Among the combined fungicides, the cent per cent growth inhibition of the fungus was recorded in carbendazim 12 % + mancozeb 63 % at 500, 1000 1500 and 2000 ppm concentrations.
