Integrated Disease Management of Ganoderma Wilt of Coconut in Dry Tracts ofSouthern Karnataka

摘要

Integrated disease management studies on Ganoderma wilt of coconut were carried out in dry tracts of southern Karnataka during 2014-2016. Pooled results revealed that, among the different treatment combinations, the disease index was less in palms that received Tebuconazole 25.9 percent EC root feeding @ 1.5 ml in 100 ml water / palm at quarterly interval + Soil application of 5 kg Ncemcake enriched with Trichoderma viride I palm / half yearly + Pseudomonas fluorescens (talc formulated) @ 50 g/palm/half yearly + Soil drenching with 1 per cent BM @ 20 L/Palm half yearly with an increase of 10.57 disease index over prc-treatment which accounted for 76.41 per cent reduction over control and recorded maximum nut yield (51.55 nuts/palm / year) as against 22.66 in control.
