Among the diseases of safflower; dry root rot disease caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid is one of the most destructive and wide spread diseases of Safflower (Carthamous tinctorius L.) causing accountable losses of about 25-60 per cent. A total of ten fungicides namely: Captan, Iprodine, Copper Oxychloride, Thiram Mancozeb, Difenconazole, Propiconazole, Cymoxanil8%+Mancozeb 64%, Carbandazim, & Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% were evaluated in vitro against Macrophomina phaseolina.All the fungicides (10) tested caused significant inhibition at all the concentration over contol. However fungicides viz., Carbendazim, Metalaxyl + Mancozeb and Mancozeb (recorded significantly highest average mycelial growth inhibition of 100.00, 91.42 and 85.86 per cent, respectively. Bioagents (6) evaluated in vitro were found fungistatic/antifungal against M. phaseolina. However, Fungal antagonists T. viride, T. harzianum and T. hamatum recorded significantly highest mean mycelial inhibition, respectively of 80.00, 77.07 and 66.22 per cent.
