Sugarcane is one of the most important cash crops of the India. Sugarcane was cultivated on 8.35 lakh hac .area in Maharashtra (2015-16) with the production of 83.79 lakh tone and productivity is 88 t/ha. The crop being a long duration crop attracts a number of insect, diseases and nutritional disorders. Insect pests and disease cause 20% and 10-15% yield loss. The brown spot ( Cercospora longipes B.1906) pathogen Duteromycetes was coated as the minor one in sugarcane but become major from last three –four years, reported 12 to 20 % loss in recovery and sugar quality. In vitro management of pathogen by different fungicides showed that, Out of 5 different fungicides the Tebaconizole @ 0.1% and Dithen M 45 (mancozeb) @ 0.3 % found significantly most effective in inhibiting the growth of pathogen at 99.21 % and 98.15 % respectively over control. The interaction effect within the treatment was also found significantly superior among the treatment as compare to control. The result indicated that tebaconizole gives 100 per cent inhibition of colony growth followed by other. In vivo management at CSRS,Padegaon ,(2016-17) Pathology farm out of six fungicides the treatments, Propiconazole @ 0.1 % recorded the lowest brown spot intensity of 10.00 % and the highest per cent disease control of 84.46 %, NMC/ha of 89.68, cane yield of 103.80 t/ha and CCS yield of 14.67 t/ha. It was followed by Mancozeb 0.10 % which recorded the brown spot intensity of 13.00 % and the per cent disease control of 79.79 %, NMC/ha of 86.28, cane yield of 98.0 t/ha and CCS yield of 14.26 t/ha.
