Varietal screening and management against bacterial wilt of Gladiolus (c.o. - Pseudomonas gladioli pv. gladioli).

摘要

Among fifteen varieties tested, none of the variety was found highly resistant. The variety Friendship showed least wilt incidence (3.5%) followed by Appolose (4.7%). Maximum wilt incidence were recorded on Silva (24.3%). Corm treatment before planting with dichlorophen (2000 ppm) performed best in reducing the wilt incidence followed by chloramphenicol (200 ppm) and streptocycline (200 ppm). Among biological agents, comparatively less wilt incidence was found in Tricoderma viride treated corm followed by Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus sp.
