INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF CHILLI LEAF SPOT CAUSED BY ALTERNARIA ALTERNATA AND CERCOSPORA CAPSICI UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS. -

With regards to management of Alternaria and Cercospora leaf spot diseases of chilli, lowest per cent disease index was observed in combination spray of Tilt 25% EC @ 0.05% + Eucalyptus spp. @ 10% + Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 5g/ lt which was followed by spray with Tilt 25% EC @ 0.05% + P. fluorescens@ 5g/ lt. Plant height was maximum (at 75 and 105 day after transplanting) in treatment with combination spray of Tilt 25% EC @ 0.05% + Eucalyptus spp. @ 10% + P. fluorescens @ 5g/ lt which was followed by spray with Tilt 25% EC @ 0.05% + P. fluorescens @ 5g/ lt. Number of fruits infected per plant was found less in treatment with combination spray of Tilt 25% EC @ 0.05% + Eucalyptus spp. @ 10% + P. fluorescens @ 5g/ lt which was followed by spray with Tilt 25% EC @ 0.05% + P. fluorescens @ 5g/ lt. The maximum yield (286.67 g/plant) was recorded in treatment Tilt 25% EC@ 0.05% + Eucalyptus spp. @ 10% + P. fluorescens@ 5g/ lt. which was on par with treatment Tilt 25% EC@ 0.05% + P. fluorescens@ 5g/ lt. (273.33 g/plant). - See more at
