A. V. Bhilar, N. K. Khandare

Abstract: Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) belongs to family Apiaceae, is a green herb with strong smell which gives aroma so used in cooking. Coriander is mainly used as a condiment for its medicinal properties as well as for culinary purpose as spice. Such economically and medicinally important plant is attacked by many fungal pathogens and deteriorates quality and yield. The diseased coriander infected by pathogens was selected for evaluation against fungicide, carbendazim. The MIC of carbendazim among 15 isolate of Curvularia pallescence on agar plate (in vitro) and inoculated on plants (in vivo) of coriander showed variation in resistance in both and among the samples.
