Abstract
ABSTRACT:Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most important vegetable crops in Egypt and many countries. The total cultivated area of pepper in Egypt reached more than 62 870 Feddan yielded 438915 tons in both nili and summer seasons during 2012. Powdery mildew disease is considered a serious disease of pepper plants in Egypt, caused by Leveillula taurica. Cabrio Top was the most effective fungicide in controlling the disease and perecentage of infection, where the lowest powdery mildew infection was noticed, followed by Bellis fungicide on pepper plants cv. Pasodoble during 2012 and 2013 seasons under natural infection. Yield of 10 plants in kg were raised by fungicide application and compatable with decreasing the disease incidence. Cabrio Top fungicide at (recommended dose) resulted the last disease severity, perecentage of infection and highest yield kg of 10 plants. Calcium carbonate with both used concentrations was the most effective salt in decreasing disease parameters,and wereasing the yield to reach ito maximum followd by calcium chloride, followed by Oxalic acid.werw effective in decreasing powdery mildew disease parameters and increasing fruit yield comparing to the control treatment.
