Integrated Management of Phomopsis vexans Causing Leaf Blight and Fruit Rot of Brinjal in Kashmir

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).
