MANAGEMENT OF TOMATO EARLY BLIGHT [ALTERNARIA SOLANI(ELLIS & MARTIN) SORAUER] THROUGH BOTANICALS ANDFUNGICIDES UNDER IN-VITRO AND IN-VIVO CONDITIONSAnshu Singh, Shyam Kishor Patel, Prashant Kumar Singh and Prashant SinghAbstract Early blight is the most harmful and dangerous disease of tomato worldwide. In the present investigation,five plant extracts and five fungicides were evaluated against Alternaria solani under in-vitro condition andeffective botanicals and fungicides were evaluated under field condition. Among all the botanicals,Azadirachta indica leaf was found most effective botanicals under in-vitro evaluation followed by Daturafastuosa leaf and Allium cepa leaf. Among the fungicides, minimum mycelial growth of Alternaria solani wasfound in Fluciazole 40% followed by Carbendazim 50% WP, Difenoconazole 25% EC, Azoxystrobin 23%SC and Mancozeb 75% WP. In field experiment, Fluciazole 40% EC and Carbendazim 50% WP found mosteffective among all the treatments. |
