Abstract

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most important vegetables among Solanaceae group like potato, tomato etc. Most of the promising chilli cultivars are under a great threat for profitable cultivation due to several abiotic and biotic factors. The major losses of chilli are caused by fungi, in which anthracnose due to Colletotrichum capsici is more important. For the management of anthracnose of chilli, an experiment was conducted for three years with twelve treatments and three replications. Treatment of three foliar sprays of Propiconazole @ (0.1%) at 10 days interval from initiation of the disease gave average minimum disease intensity (11.57%) and maximum ripe fruit yield (31.90g/ha) with maximum C:B ratio (1:3.18).

Abstract

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is the most important legume and vegetable crop grown in India. Most of the promising cowpea cultivars are under a great threat for profitable cultivation due to the attack of several abiotic and biotic factors viz., Fungi, bacteria, virus and nematodes. The major losses of cowpea are covered by fungi, in which anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is more important. The experiment on integrated disease management of cowpea anthracnose disease under field conditions with twelve treatments and three replications using fungicides and bio-agent formulations was conducted during 2013-14 and 2014-15. The mean of analysis of two years data revealed that the three foliar sprays of Thiophenate methyl (0.1%) at 10 days interval from initiation of the disease gave average minimum disease intensity (10.63%) and maximum edible pod yield (11.34 q/ha). This was followed by foliar sprays of Difenaconazole (0.06%) which gave average 16.94 per cent disease intensity and pod yield 9.99 q/ha. From the table it is cleared that the fungicides belonging to Trizole groups are more effective.
