The Research was conducted on bio-efficacy of fungicides against Fusarium sp. of date palm at Department of Plant Pathology, S. D. Agricultural University Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat. Four systemic, four non-systemic and four combined fungicides at different concentrations were tested against Fusarium sp. through poisoned food technique. Among the systemic fungicides, propiconazole and carbendazim recorded 99.89 per cent and 98.80 per cent mycelial growth inhibition at 500 ppm respectively. Among the non-systemic fungicides 99.98 per cent mycelial growth inhibition over control was recorded in copper oxychloride at 2000 ppm. Among combined fungicides carbendazim + mancozeb recorded significantly highest 99.47 per cent growth inhibition over control at 1000 ppm concentration
