The Research was conducted on Evaluation of fungicides against Macrophomina phaseolina of cowpea 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 M. phaseolina through poisoned food technique. Among the systemic fungicides, carbendazim 50 WP at all the four concentrations completely inhibited the growth of the pathogen. It was followed by propiconazole 25 EC with 84.50 and 92.35 per cent growth inhibition of pathogen at 250 and 500 ppm, respectively. Among the non-systemic fungicides mancozeb 75 WP at all the four concentrations completely inhibited growth of the pathogen followed by chlorothalonil 75 WP with 88.91 and 91.48 per cent growth inhibition of the pathogen at 1500 and 2000 ppm, respectively. Among combined fungicides carbendazim 12 % + mancozeb 63 % WP completely inhibited the growth of the pathogen followed by captan 50 % WP + hexaconazole 5 % WP with 90.87 and 92.96 per cent growth inhibition of pathogen at 500 and 1000 ppm, respectively
