But potato production greatly affected by the late blight of potato caused by an oomycete, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary worldwide. Application of need-based fungicides is the key factor to control this disease and to avoid development of fungicide resistance in P. infestans. Experiments were conducted in both in vitro and in field condition to evaluate some selected chemical fungicides to identify the best one to control the late blight disease of potato. The results of in vitro test revealed that all the fungicides inhibited the growth of P. infestans by 94% over control. But the results of field experiment conceded that the lowest late blight severity was found in T10 (Curzate M8) (0.49%) followed by T6 (AcrobateMz) (0.52%), T8 (Micra) (0.59%), T7 (Xtramyl) (0.61%), T3 (Daconyl) (0.84%), T5 (Secure) (1.28%), T9 (Sanoxanyl) (1.43%), T1 (...
