Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most popular and widely grown vegetable in the India belongs to family Solanaceae. Tomato is considered "protective food" and year-round production throughout the world. The stem rot of tomato is the most severe threat for the tomato industry and also for foreign exchange earnings. The disease caused by soil borne fungi, Sclerotium rolfsii that cause stem rot or collar rot in tomato, has become more serious among plant pathogenic fungi. In laboratory screening of different fungicides, non-systemic fungicides @ 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm (mancozeb 75 % WP, thiram 75 % WS, chlorothalonil 75 % WP and propineb 70 % WP), systemic fungicides @ 100, 250 and 500 ppm (tebuconazole 25.9 % EC, hexaconazole 5% EC, propiconazole 25 % EC, difenoconazole 25 % EC and pyraclostrobin 20 % WG) and ready mix fungicides @ 250, 500 and 1000 ppm (azoxystrobin 11 % + tebuconazole 18.30 % SC, carboxin 37.5 % + thiram 37.5 % WS, tebuconazole 50 % + trifloxystrobin 25 % WG, carbendazim 12 % + mancozeb 63 % WP and fluxapyroxad 250 g/l + pyraclostrobin 250 g/l SC) were found cent per cent inhibition of mycelial growth of S. rolfsiiunder in vitro condition.
