Effect of metabolites of nine fungi isolated from seeds of Dalbergia sissoo viz., Asptrgillus niger, A. flavus, A phoenicis, A. tamarii, A. sydowi, Fusarium moniliforme, F. oxysporum, F. solani and a black sterile fungus was studied on seed gemination and seedling growth (ischolar_main and shoot lengths). The reduction in seed germination and seedling growth may be ascribed to toxic substances secreted by the test fungi. The rating of the fungi on the basis of inhibitory effects placed A. niger as highly potent followed by other fungi. The metabolites of A. sydowi, however, produced a synergistic effect.- Triplet Seedlings in Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo Roxb.)

Aphids (Hemiptera: Apihidoidea) pest problems were well known worldwide. A total 823 species in 222 genera and 18 sub families of the family Aphididae were known from the Indian sub continent. In Eastern Himalayas and North East India, 464 species in 147 genera in 15 sub families of aphids were known to be available. Sikkim belonged to NE India. From Sikkim, 26 important Aphids were reported so far. Three species of aphids were known to be associated with Alder (Alnus nepalensis) in North East India. Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) was an important cash crop of Eastern Himalayan region. It was sciophytes i.e., the plant grew under shade. The crop grew somewhat wild in nature and damage due to insect pests was common. It was infested by various pests and diseases causing considerable amount of monetary loss. Surveillance was conducted in alder - large cardamom ecosystem in four different districts of Sikkim during 2011 to 2013. Mollitrichosiphum spp reported for the first time from Sikkim region. An observation about aphid species associated with alder tree in large cardamom ecosystem in Sikkim was presented.Keywords

Small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton), ... the Queen of Spices is au important spice crop cultivated on a large scale in the Western ghats of South India. Rhizome rot is a major disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn in cardamom plantations. The disease occurs in a severe form during monsoon and results in heavy crop losses. In the present study, exotic and native isolates of Trichoderma viride Pers. Fr. and T.harzianum Rifai were tested against the pathogen under in vitro conditions. These isolates were further evaluated in disease-prone areas in the field. Results showed that all the isolates tested showed antagonistic activity through hyphal coiling, penetration and lysis of the hyphae of the pathogen besides inducing growth inhibition of the laller. Among the nine isolates tested in the field, eight were found effective in controlling the disease incidence. An exotic isolate of T. harzianum and a native isolate of T. viride were found to be most effective, the reduction in disease incidence being upto 52 to 69 per cent.Keywords

The small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) is severely affected by 'Azhukal' (capsule rot) and rhizome rot diseases caused by Phytophthora meadii McRae, Pythium vexans de Bary and Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn respectively. In an attempt to control these diseases through non-chemical methods, antagonistic fungi and bacteria were tested as bio-control agents against these rot pathogens. The common antagonists such as Trichoderma viride Pers.fr, T. harsianum Rifai, Laetisaria arvalis Burdsall and Bacillus subtilis (Ehrenburg Cohn) were tested under in vitro, pot culture and field conditions to evaluate their efficacy in suppressing the pathogens and minimising disease incidence. All the antagonists tested in vitro interacted with the pathogens by growth inhibition, anastamoses and hyphal lysis. Pot culture studies on the effect of these antagonists on pathogens showed varying degrees of disease reduction. Application of antagonists in Phytophthora-sick soils reduced soil disease potential index and percentage disease incidence. The potentiality or these biocontrol agents in monitoring rot diseases of small cardamom is discussed in this paper.
