Abstract

The present investigation was undertaken during the year 2010-2011 at Plant Pathology Section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur for Management of groundnut rust (Puccinia arachidis Speg.) by integrating fungicides, plant extract and bioagents. All the treatments significantly lowered the incidence and intensity of rust disease and increased the 100 seed weight, pod yield and haulm yield over unsprayed control. Among fungicides, Difenconazole @ 0.1% showed maximum reduction in Percent Disease Incidence (9.39) at 60 DAS and Mancozeb @ 0.2% (13.37%) at 90 DAS. Difenconazole @ 0.1% showed lowest Per cent Disease Intensity (5.61 and 7.21) both at 60 DAS and 90 DAS. Among plant extract and bioagents, Neem Seed Kernel Extract @ 5% was superior followed by Trichoderma harzianum @ 0.5%. Whereas in case of effect of various treatments Difenconazole 0.1% recorded maximum 100 seed weight, dry pod and haulm yield overall other treatments.
