The liquid homeopathic medicine, Cina mother tincture (MT) and potentised Cina (200C & 1000C) prepared from the flowering meristems of Artemisia nilagirica (Clarke) Pamp were applied by foliar spray on mulberry (Moms alba L. cv.S|) naturally infected with ischolar_main-knot disease caused by Meloidogyne incognia (Kofoid & White) Chitwood in sericulture field. All the treatment were done four times at an interval of three days. All the treatment significantly reduced nematode infection in terms of ischolar_main gall number and nematode population in ischolar_mains. All the treated plants showed improved growth in terms of number of leaves, ischolar_main and leafprotein content. Cina 200C is more effective than Cina MT in all respect of nematode control as well as growth of test plants. It is interesting that silkworm larvae (Bombyx mori L.) feeding on the leaves of Cina- treated plants showed improved growth, increased silk production, fewer feeding to cocoon formation and zero mortality rate. Homeopathic medicine Cina would be cheap as well as non-phytotoxic and non-pollutant.Keywords

Eight plots of sericulture land (0.176ha), each of 0.0022 ha, were grown with high bush mulberry plants of Morus alba L. (cv.S,) naturally infected with Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood causing ischolar_main-knot disease and Colletotriclmm gloeosporioides (Penzig) Penzig & Sacc. causing black leaf spot disease of mulberry. Acaciasides isolated from the funicles of Acacia anriculiformis A. Cunn. is highly effective at a low dose of 1.6 mg / plant in ameliorating the ischolar_main-knot and black leaf spot diseases. Acaciasides soluble in water and appUed by foliar spray and soil drench has increased the protein content of mulberry leaves. Silkworm larvae (Bombyx mori L.) feeding on the leaves of treated plants showed improved growth, increased silk production, fewer feeding to cocoon formation and zero mortality rate.Keywords

Root-knot nematodes, causing ischolar_main-knot disease, infest almost all kinds of cash and vegetable-crops affecting economy of the world. In this paper our best endeavour as to focus on the prevention and control of ischolar_main-not disease using edible bioagents Amaranth which has important economic implications for sericulture industry. In a field (0.72 ha) amaranth naturally infested with Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood was intercropped with mulberry to determine the effects on nematode populations and quality of mulberry leaves for silkworm production. The nematode population varied from 1579-1632 per 200 g of soil and 820-955 per 2 g of ischolar_mains. Fields were divided into two groups and each group had six plots, viz., monoculture plots and intercropped plots. Amaranths were planted in between every two mulberry plants in the intercropped plots. Silkworm larvae were fed with the mulberry leaves of monoculture and intercropped plots. Of the two plant species, amaranth receives maximum infection of ischolar_main-knot disease. Silkworm larvae feeding on the leaves of intercropped plots showed improved growth, shell weight and shell ratio, fewer feeding to cocoon formation and 2% mortality rate. These results suggest that ischolar_main-knot disease can be easily and effectively controlled by the use of amaranth plants as "trap crop" for ischolar_main-knot nematodes intercropped with mulberry plants in the naturally ischolar_main-knot infested field increasing silk production. As intercrop amaranth could be harvested at frequent intervals to keep the nematode population to a minimum level. This way amaranth could serve as highly effective and beneficial to the farmers in protecting other crops from invading nematode larvae as well as by controlling ischolar_main-knot nematodes in the naturally infected sericultural field, and also through buying and selling of the edible amaranth plant regularly from the intercropped sericultural field. Intercropped amaranth also improves the plant growth effectively which 192 directly increases photosynthesis rate and significantly and reduces CO2 in the environment. It would not only be easier way, easily available and cheap but also conserves our biodiversity which will eventually contribute towards "Sustainable Climate, Health and Development".Keywords

Recent studies have revealed that ecofriendly biological agent acaciasides (A and B) are highly effective at a dose of 1 mg / mulberry plant ( Morus alba L., cv. S1) in ameliorating diseases caused by plant pathogens, viz., ischolar_main-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood causing ischolar_main-knot disease, fungus Cercosporam moricola (Cooke) causing leaf spot disease, fungus Phyllactinia corylea (Pers.) Karst causing powdery mildew disease, mosaic virus causing mosaic disease and mealy bug Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) causing tukra disease. Acaciasides also improves the growth of silkworms, shell weight, effective rate of silkworms rearing, sex ratio percentage and egg laying capacity of mother moth.Keywords
