Ancient Indian texts such as Varahamihira's 'BrihathSamhitha', Chavundaraya's 'Lokopakara' and Sarangadhara's SarangadharaSamhitha’, provide recommendations for an integrated approach to control crop pests and diseases by managing soil, seed, plant and environment. The seed treatment with cow dung, milk, juice of plants and cow ghee is also prescribed. As prophylactic measure for disease control, the incense of plant leaves and flowers, along with fish meat, turmeric, mustard, are mentioned. 'Panchagavya' to control plant diseases were found effective in managing soil-borne diseases of tomato and Panama wilt disease banana.Keywords
