Abstract : An experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2011-12 central research plot of SHIATS. To find out the efficacy of certain fungicides and bio-agents against Xanthomonas campestris pv malvaciarum of cotton different treatment of Bordeax mixture, Neem cake, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Streptomycin, Bacillus subtilis, Mancozeb, Carbendazim was used as foliar spray. Result that the foliar spray of Streptomycin @ 0.025% was found most effective in reducing the disease severity (17.03%) at 120 DAS, (18.67%) 150 DAS, (20.59%) at 180 DAS and increased yield (29.10 q/ha) at harvest.
