Abstract

The effect of several fungicides on the control of coconut leaf blight was evaluated under laboratory, nursery and field conditions. Benomyl, Cupper Oxichloride, Propineb, Maneb and Thiabendazol were very efficient in the laboratory tests. However, under nursery and field conditions the fungicides were not effective. Cutting the infected leaves was the most promissing method.
