Considering the importance of leaf blight of wheat caused by Alternaria triticina, a in vitro study was conducted using different fungicides using poisoned food technique. In laboratory screening, non-systemic fungicides viz., mancozeb 75 % WP and propineb 70 % WP were found most effective with 89.41 and 88.70 per cent fungal growth inhibition, respectively. While systemic fungicides viz., propiconazole 25 % EC and hexaconazole 5 % EC proved most effective with 96.00 and 90.33 per cent fungal growth inhibition, respectively. But in combination fungicides viz., azoxystrobin 11 % + tebuconazole 18.30 % WP, hexaconazole 4 % + zineb 68 % WP and carboxin 37.5 % + thiram 37.5 % SD were found most effective with cent per cent growth inhibition of fungus.
