Wilt of Safflower caused by Fusarium oxysporium f.sp. carthamiKlisiewics and Houston (FOC) is an important disease spreading widely and causing yield losses up to 80 percent (Sastry and Chatopadhay, 1977). Owing to its soil borne nature, chemical control isone of the viable propositions for management of such a pathogen. Therefore, studies were made to evaluate the efficacy of fungicides viz. Carbendazim (50wp), Copper Oxychloride (50 wp), Capatafol (50 wp) and Thirum (75 wp) on the inhibition of mycelialgrowth of Fusarium by using food poisoning technique. Attempt was made to find out thesuitable chemical to manage this disease in Nashik region of Maharashtra.
