Abstract
In Northeast Indian tea plantations infection of Fusaruim solani , resulting dieback of tea plant is increasing which causes considerable crop loss during the recent times. In this investigation, native plant extracts, i.e. Acorus calamus L., Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Clerodendrum viscosum Vent., and Xanthium strumarium L. and microbials i.e. Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma viride Pers. were utilized to evaluate the efficacy in controlling dieback disease of tea. These extracts inhibited the growth of Fusarium solani by 60-90%. In field application of C. viscosum and X. strumarium extracts reduced the disease up to 89.3% and 81% respectively. More than 70% disease reduction was observed when aqueous extracts of A. calamus and A. indica were used separately. Maximum disease reduction was achieved up to 86.9% due to application of T. viride . The results, thus, suggested the potential use of herbal extracts and microbial strains as an effective component of integrated disease management (IDM) schedule in the organic tea farming. The methods and rate of application are also discussed.

The Journal of Tea Science was established in August 1964, approved by the Publicity Department, CCCPC. Its title was inscribed by Zhu De, the chairman of CCCPC. It was discontinued during the Cultural Revolution in 1966, and it was reissued in August 1984, approved by the State Scientific and Technological Commission.Academicians Chen Zongmao and Liu Zhonghuaof the Chinese Academy of Engineering served as the directors of the editorial board. The Journal of Tea Science is managed by the China Association for Science and Technology,sponsored by the China Tea Science Society and the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and edited and published by the editorial office of the Journal of Tea Science. It is the only one of Chinese core journals in the field of tea science that is included in the core library of the Chinese Science Citation Database.Its Domestic Unified Serial Number is CN 33-1115/S, its International Standard Serial Number is ISSN 1000-369X and its International publication name code is CODEN-CHKEF4.
