Abstract

Seven fungicides including four systemics were found effective in the laboratory against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides a causative agent of secondary leaf fall of Hevea rubber. Field tests from 1982-5 disease seasons showed that captafol at 0.6 kg per hectare a.i. gave good or better control of the disease than most other fungicides evaluated. However the oil-soluble systemic fungicides propiconazole penconazole and prochloraz were also promising; they were potent at low dosages. Fungicide treatments reduced disease severity and leaf fall resulting in improved canopy density. The resulting increase in latex yield however was insignificant. Factors affecting efficacy of disease control are discussed.
