Abstract: Botrytis cinerea, B. gladiolorum, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.gladioli and Stemphylium botryosum isolated from corms and leaves of Gladiolus were tested for their pathogenic potential.Former four were proved to be pathogenic to the corms while except F. oxysporum f. sp.gladioli all other fungi were able to cause leaf spots.Corm sprounting and plant height was considerable reduced by B. gladiolorum, F. oxysporum f. sp.gladioli and C. lunata.Corm sprouting was improved when Gladiolus corms infested with corm rotting fungi were sown after dipping in different fungicides.Out of four fungicides Bavistin followed by Dithane M-45 poved to be the best fungicide for the control of B. gladiolorum, B. cinerea and F. oxysporm f. sp.gladioli while Topsin-M was found effective against C. lunata.
