Use of New Fungicides and Plant Products for Control of Tikka Disease in Groundnut

摘要

Field studies were carried out on the efficacy of fungicides and plant products in controlling the tikka disease pathogens, Cercospora arachidicola Hori. Phaeoisariopsis personata(Beck. AndCurt.) V.Arx. in groundnut. Among the chemicals, 0.025% difenoconazole was the best treatment showing minimum percent disease intensity (PDI) and maximum pod yield. Neem leaf extract (5%) was the best among the plant products tested for their effect against tikka disease.
