Abstract: Mango, Mangifera indica L. galls caused by Fusarium decemcellulare are spreading rapidly in the country. An essay was undestaken in the Phytopathology labs of the Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales, Cojedes, Venezuela so as to study the fungus behaviour with different chemical products Benomil (Benlate), Cicloheximida (Actidione), Carboxin - Thiram (Vitavax), and Copper Oxichloride (Cobox) were used at concentrations of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 ppm, as well as mixes od Benomyl and Ciclohexamide at concentrations of 250, 500 and 1000 ppm, in order to inhibit growth and spore formation. Preparations of the concentrations was based on the Palazón technique, using 95% acetone as a solvent and 95% acetone and water as a control. Discs of absorbent paper, as well as solutions in dishes with agar were used. Both were incubated at 28^oC in total darkness during eight days, after which diametre and sporulation were measured. Best control of growth and spore production was achieved with Benomyl and Ciclohexamide at 100 and 1000 ppm, Carboxin - Thiram at 1000 ppm and Benomyl and Ciclohexamide mix at 250, 500 and 1000 ppm. These results point towards the possibility of the integrated pathogen control in the field.
