Triazole Induced Alterations in the Peroxidation of Membrane Lipids and Antioxidant Status of Manihot esculenta Crantz

The main objectives of this study wre to asses the effect of Triadimefon and Hexaconazole on the non-enzymatic antioxidant potentials of Manihot esculenta Crantz during the growth and maturation period. One litre of 20 mg L triadimefon and 15mg L hexaconazole solution per plant was used for the treatment -1 -1 and control was treated with one litre of irrigation water. The treatment was given on 25,45,65 and 100 DAP by soil drenching. Plants were harvested randomly on 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 and 240 DAP and separated into stem, leaf, root and tuber was used for determining antioxidant status. From these results it is clear that triadimefon, hexaconzole can be used as enhancer for non-enzymatic antioxidant potentials of Manihot esculenta.
