Abstract: Damping-off is a disease that leads to the decay of germinating seeds and young seedlings, which represents for farmers one of the most important yield constraints both in nurseries and fields. As for other biotic stresses, conventional fungicides are widely used to manage this disease hence, a field experiment was conducted in the College of Horticulture, Hiriyur during year 2010-11 and 2011-12, for the management of damping off of tomato, chilli and cabbage vegetable crops. The results revealed that all the treatments significantly reduced the damping off incidence in nursery over untreated control. The pooled data indicated that per cent disease incidence was significantly lowest in all the treatments over the control. The PDI was lower Propamocarb 530 + Fosetyl 310-840 SL @ 3.0 g/lit (6.99, 5.85 and 7.37 PDI) which was followed by Propamocarb 530 + Fosetyl 310-840 SL @ 2.5 g/lit and 2.0 g/lit in Tomato, chilli and cabbage respectively.
