Management of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus Disease in Mungbean

摘要

A field experiment was conducted during summer 2016-17 to evaluate the effect of border crop, seed treatment and foliar spray with neem based formulation or different insecticides as IDM approach for the management of yellow mosaic disease of mungbean. Seed treatment with imidacloprid 48 FS @ 5.0 ml/kg seed + one spray with imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.24 ml/1 was found to be statistically superior in reducing the disease incidence over control by 56.37 per cent with least mean whitefly population (2.58/plant) which was significantly lesser than control (6.59/plant). Same treatment also recorded maximum no. of pods/ plant (19.70) with maximum yield of 1095 kg/ha followed by seed treatment with imidacloprid 48 FS @ 5.0 ml/kg seed + one spray with triazophos 40 EC @ 1.5 ml/1 with a yield of 1022.50 kg/ha. Untreated plot recorded highest mean disease incidence of 40.13 per cent with minimum yield of601.50 kg/ha.
