COMBINED EFFICACY OF BIO-PESTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES ONSTEMPHYLIUM BLIGHT DISEASE OF ONION (ALLIUM CEPA)M. K. Pandey, P. K. Gupta, R. C. Gupta, M. K. Pathak and Satyendra SinghAbstract A field trial was conducted at Regional Research Station, NHRDF, Nashik in three consecutive years duringKharif 2016, 2017 and 2018 on onion variety Agrifound Dark Red for the management ofstemphyliumblight disease of onion through soil application of bio-pesticide and sequential spray of different fungicides.The pooled result showed that, significantly minimum stemphylium blight incidence (52.22%) with intensity(4.0%) and highest gross yield (218.51 q/ha) with marketable (174.94 q/ha) as well as highest benefit cost ratio (7.83:1) were recorded in the treatment Soil application of Arka Microbial Consortia @ 12.50 kg/ha followed by sequential sprays of Propiconazole @ 0.1% at 25 DAT, Hexaconazole @ 0.1% at 50 DAT and Tricyclazole @ 0.1% at 75 DAT'. |
