Maximum inhibition per cent was recorded on Lentinula edodes @ 2per cent (100%) as it was followed by Pluerotus florida (71.59%) @ 10 per cent and Azadirachata indica (67.25%) @10 per cent. The pot experiment was conducted for efficacy of best treatment against leaf blight disease of wheat. Ethanolic extracts of Lentinula edodes showed the less disease severity (14.41) in with greater wheat yield (90.89 gram) on average value. The average highest disease severity was recorded in control (68.67%) followed by methanolic extract of Pluerotus florida (64.33%) @10 per cent followed by methanolic extract of Allium sativum (63.15%) @10 per cent and Lawsonia inermis (62.05%) @10 per cent. Lentinula edodes was better fungicide for Alternaria triticina in comparison to all other treatments.

The results revealed that ten fungi were found associated with rhizosphere of Artemisia absinthium L. The rhizosphere of Artemisia absinthium consisted of following fungi, viz., Aspergillus niger Van Tiegh., Aspergillus flavus Link. Fusarium oxysporium Schlecht.(emend) Snyder & Hansen. Pencillium chrysogenum Thom., Rhizopus stolonifer Vuillemin, Mucormucedo Linnaeus, Alternaria alternata (Fr., Keissler) Cladosporium cladosporioides (Fresen), GA de Vries, Trichoderma harzianum Rifai and Curvularia lunata Wakker, Boedijn and these species were identified on the basis of morphological, cultural and microscopic characteristics. These isolated rhizospheric fungi showed significant variation in frequency and relative abundance. Among the isolated fungi, Aspergillus niger was found in highest frequency (100%) and relative abundance (38.83%) whereas, Cladosporium cladosporioides and Curvularia lunata was found in less frequency of 8.33 per cent and relative abundance (0.48%) in the rhizosphere of the test plant. The study will be helpful in critical identification of soil fungi associated with other medicinal plants and some of the new fungi can be exploited for their antimicrobial activity or antibiotic activity against pathogenic fungi.

Production of rice in India is limited by several biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the biotic stresses, sheath blight of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn [Thanetephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk] is one of the most serious threat for rice cultivation. The present study was undertaken to determine the degree of vertical and horizontal spread of sheath blight in 10 different cultivars of rice viz., Pusa-1121, Tarawadi Basmati, Pusa Basmati-1, Pusa-2511, PB-1460, Narendra-359, Sarju-52, PD-10, PR-116 and Naveen in field experiments during 2011 and 2012 crop seasons. On the basis vertical spreading of sheath blighton different cultivars, it was observed that relative lesion height ranged between 15.9-38.0 per cent on different cultivars. Highest RLH was in PB-1 (38.09%) and lowest in Sarju-52 (15.93%). Different cultivars showed different pattern of vertical spreading. Vertical spreading of cultivar Sarju-52, Narendra-35 and PR-116 showed resistant reaction, while Pusa-2511 showed moderately resistant reaction. Remaining others cultivars viz., Pusa-1121, Tarawadi Basmati, Pusa Basmati-1, PB-1460, PD-10 and Naveen showed moderate susceptibility. In case of horizontal spreading, ranged from 1.80-8.20 per cent. Highest horizontal spreading was in PB-1(8.20%) and lowest in Naveen (1.80%). Different cultivars showed variable per cent disease incidence on the basis of horizontal spreading pattern. The cv. Narendra-35 was recorded lowest disease incidence followed by PR-116, Naveen, Pusa-2511, PD-10, Tarawadi basmati and Pusa-1121, where highest per cent disease incidence was recorded on variety Pusa Basmati-1(6.18%).

    查看更多>>摘要:The decline in quality and quantity of brinjal fruits due to the destructive nature of Phomopsis blight disease has inclined to develop the management strategy against the disease. Management of disease has been mainly through the use of fungicides. But fungicides alone are not sustainable in Kashmir due to the high cost and risks to the environment. Keeping in view the amount of destruction caused by P. vexans, field evaluation of soil amendments, seed treatments with bioagents and fungitoxicants and foliar sprays with fungitoxicants were used in both the nursery as well as in the transplanted field. Among all the treatments in nursery, highest seed germination of 94.72 per cent was recorded in T_9 and the lowest seed germination of 73.38 per centwas recorded in T_2. In transplanted field, the treatment combination T_(15) was noted as the best treatment against leaf blight, stem blight and fruit rot showing disease intensity values of 5.48, 0.95 and 5.63 per cent, respectively, while the lowest performance was recorded in T_1 showing intensity values of 19.29, 13.59 and 20.83 per cent, respectively. Further, the highest fruit yield of 234.38 q ha~(-1) was also recorded in T_(15) while the lowest yield was obtained in T1 (163.87 q ha1).

The crop is susceptible to wilt, a devastating soil-borne disease induced by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis. In sight of the potential threat Fusarium wilt can pose to lentils, these studies were measured essential, and consequently initiated for the assessment of the disease occurrence, characterization and variations in morphological, cultural and pathogenic behavior of collected isolates the pathogen. Understanding cultural, morphological and pathogenic variation of F. oxysporum isolates is of highest importance, which has not been formerly studied in Rajasthan. 30 locations of ten districts viz Bharatpur, Pratapgarth, Bhilwara, Kota, Bundi, Dholpur, Swaimadhopur, Baran, Jhalawar and Chittorgarth of Rajasthan state were surveyed during the crop season of continues two year (2016-2017 and 2017-2018). Wilt disease incidence in different districts varied from 9.05 to 39.40percent. Maximum per cent disease incidence 39.50 was recorded in Bundi district.In total, 10 isolates of pathogen(FOL) wererecovered. All collected isolates were showed variations in color of colony, morphology and pathogenic response. Four isolates FOL-01, 02, 05 and 08 were showed colony color is dull white and substrate color dark tan, FOL-03 and 06 showed pinkish colors and substrate color was pink, FOL-04, 07, 09 and 10 were milky white and substrate color was purple. In the morphological variations, large conidia (>15p.) were observed in F0L-03, 04, 07, 09 and 10, small conidia (< 15p.) were observed in F0L-01, 02, 05, 06 and 08. Pathogenic variation testingon susceptible cultivar L9-12, FOL-02 recorded the highest per cent mean wilt disease incidence (73.31) and minimum 20 days taken for disease development followed by F0L-08 with 71.66 per cent disease incidence and 23 days.

The disease occurs on the upper leaf sheath enclosing the young panicles. Under severe conditions the sheaths become rotten, discolored and the grains of the partially emerged panicles shows chaffiness and sterility. The use of fungicides play an important role in the management of the disease. To keep in the views eight new ready mix fungicides were evaluated against the disease during kharif 2017 and 2018. The results on per cent disease severity and per cent disease incidence showed that all the treatments were significantly minimized by 14.99~(-1)8.56 per cent and 63.21-68.37 per cent, respectively where as in untreated control these were 26.22 and 84.00 per cent, respectively. The minimum per cent disease severity and per cent disease incidence (14.99% and 63.21, respectively) was recorded in flusilazole 12.5% + carbendazim 25% SC @ 1.0 ml l~(-1) and azoxystrobin 18.2% +difenoconazole 11.4% SC @ 1.0 ml l~(-1) (15.93% and 65.15%, respectively). Both the ready mix fungicides are more specific and significantly effective towards the crop and pathogen at lower doses. The pooled data on grain yield showed that maximum grainyield (6345.12 kg ha~(-1)) was recorded in flusilazole 12.5% + carbendazim 25% SC @ 1.0 ml l~(-1) followed by trifloxystrobin 25% + tebuconazole 50% WG @ 0.4 g l~(-1) (5984.12 kg ha~(-1)) and azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC @ 1.0 ml l~(-1)(5968.87 kg ha~(-1)), where as in untreated control the grain yield was 4836.12 kg ha~(-1).

Maximum incidence (80%) and severity (45.77%) of the disease were noticed in the variety NS 621.The disease causing fungus was identified to be Diaporthe sp. based on morphological and molecular studies. A varietal screening was conducted in the polyhouse of Integrated Farming System Research Station (IFSRS), Karamana using five varieties viz. Lola, Vellayani Jyothika, Gitika (KAU Varieties), VS 50 (KAU prerelease culture) and NS 621 (Namdhari Seeds Private Limited) to assess the natural incidence and severity of the leaf blight disease. The most susceptible variety to natural incidence of Diaporthe leaf blight disease (PDI - 58.66) was NS 621. In vitro evaluation of organic preparations, botanicals and non-hazardous compounds in inhibiting the mycelial growth of Diaporthe sp. revealed that, fermented leaf extract of the commonly available weed,Setaria barbata (10%) and sodium bicarbonate (0.5%) resulted in cent per cent inhibition of the mycelial growth of the fungus. The pot culture experiment conducted in the variety NS 621 in the polyhouse of IFSRS, Karamana revealed that soil applicationof arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (KAU isolate) @ 5g plant-1 at the time of planting followed by foliar application of fermented leaf extract of S. barbata (10%) at 20, 40 and 60 days after planting resulted in significant control of the leaf blightdisease (PDI - 11.35). The next best effective treatment in reducing the disease incidence (PDI - 18.33) was soil application of AMF @ 5g plant-1 at the time of planting followed by foliar application of sodium bicarbonate (0.5%) at 20, 40 and 60 days after planting.
