Which is most recent widely used fungicide for the control of powdery mildew

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Calaxin is the most recently widely used fungicide for the control of powdery mildew.
Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants. Powdery Mildew (Acrosporium tingitaninum) is a Whitish powdery mass that develops on the young leaves and twigs. Affected leaves get distorted.
Powdery mildew can be controlled easily by spraying Wettable Sulphur (1.5 kg/200 litres of water). Sulphur dusting (20 kg/hectare) in the morning hours controls the disease effectively. Systemic fungicides like Bayleton (1 g/litre of water) or Calaxin (3 - 4 ml/10 litres of water) or Benomyl (5 g/10 litres of water) offer better and prolonged control of the disease.
