About 46% to 55% incidence of this disease was recorded on E. clover cultivated in the irrigated tract of the country in 2018-19. This disease is subjecting significant crop losses and drastically reducing growth. An integrated disease management approach employing biological and chemical control was adopted to manage this wide-spreading fungal pathogen. The fungal antagonists, including Trichoderma harzianum, T. longibrachiatum, and T. asperellum Moreover, fungicides, including Thiophanate Methyl, Tebuconazole, Tubeconazole+Emdachloprid, Chlorothalonil+cymoxanil, Azoxystrobin, Pyraclostrobin+Metiram, and Mancozeb+Metalaxyl were tested under in vitro and field conditions. Among Trichoderma species, the best response was achieved by T. harzianum with 80.61% inhibition compared to control. Among concentrations of T. harzianum, the best response was achieved on 1/10 (1.24 cm) with 2.4 average No. of Sclerotia and 66% inhibition. Under filed condition experiments, the data regarding Disease severity in T. harzianum treated trays was 51.7% compared to untreated/control 73.5%. Besides disease control, the application of T. harzianum showed a significant increase in green and dry fodder weight (851 grams with 87 grams of dry weight) than untreated/control (561 grams with 55 grams of dry weight) in the fourth cut. For chemical evaluation, seven fungicides tested at three concentrations under in vitro trials among these Thiophanate methyl (0.5 cm) with 90.7% inhibition were found more effective.

Mango is susceptible to a variety of diseases throughout its life cycle, but diseases that strike during the flowering stage cause significant losses and have a direct impact on productivity. Flowering in mango is unreliable from season to season because environmental signals for flower initiation are frequently inconsistent. During the current research, we identify the most promising laboratory-grade synthetic chemical, chemical fungicide, or their feasible combination that promotes floral development, induces flowering, and combats inflorescence diseases, which reduce production. For this investigation, a field trial was conducted with multiple treatments. Compared to the control, the potassium nitrate treatment resulted in the highest flowering/flower emergence (8.67%), followed by calcium carbonate (7.33%) and potassium nitrate with the combination of Champion (6.66%) and Cabrio Top (5.32). Minimum flowering occurred on plants treated with fungicides alone, i.e., Contaf Plus (3.33%), compared to the control (1.33%). Contaf Plus was the most effective chemical against all inflorescence diseases in the field. The disease with the highest incidence was blossom blight at 42.90%, followed by apical necrosis at 39%, mango deformity at 17.70%, and powdery mildew at a low of 0.40%. The combined application of potassium nitrate and Copper hydroxide exhibited the best response in the field for inducing flowering and flower set on mango inflorescences, while potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate were the most effective for inducing flowers on mango trees when treated independently. Current research is extensive on the inducement of flowering and inhibition of flower disease through the application of chemicals alone or in combination.","PeriodicalId":36106,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Phytopathology","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76596744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deployment of durable disease resistant cultivars is the best strategy being cost effective and safe. A comprehensive study was conducted to identify sources of durable resistance against stripe rust of wheat. Initially, surveillance of the crop was conducted to expose the status of the dilemma. The study discovered that disease is more prevalent in the region existing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and the Northern Region of Punjab. Race identification of the pathogen under glasshouse conditions revealed high diversity and at least eleven races were designated. Prevalence of the race 70E0 was most dominating (39 %). Cultivation of multi-location trap nurseries yielded valuable information demonstrating disease-fighting genes where, at all locations, Yr5, Yr10, Yr15, and YrSp were effective. Seventy-two advanced lines collected from research institutions were screened in a glasshouse to categorize the test material based on their response to disease at the seedling stage. Test material comprising seventy-two advanced lines collected from different research institutions was screened in a glasshouse to categorize the test material on the ground of their response against disease at the seedling stage. Slow and fast rusters were categorized by studying susceptible and moderately susceptible seedlings in the field for two years. Genetic diversity in the host allows changes in the genetic organization to adapt to environmental changes. Coefficient parentage revealed the test material's restricted genetic base.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of neem seeds extract (AENS) on soybean grains health after crops treatment in field conditions for the control against Asian rust. Experiment was conducted in Mimetala and Nkometou, located in the agroecological zone V of Cameroun. Three varieties of soybean (“Locale”, TGX 1835-10E and TGX1910-14E) were used in a completely randomized blocks design containing five treatments: T0 (control), T1, T2, T3 (25, 50, 100 g/L of extract respectively) and T4 (5.33 g/L of Plantineb 80wp). The disease was identified on the harvested grains; its incidence on those grains was evaluated and some biochemical parameters were assessed by extraction and determination of their contents. Many grains were attacked by Asian rust. The highest incidence was obtained in the seeds from untreated plots (35 %), compared to those from T1, T2, T3 (1.14; 1.07 and 0.95 % respectively). The different doses of AENS improved the content of all biochemical compounds tested in harvested grains compared with the T0 and T4 treatments. TGX1910-14E variety presented the highest content. In T3,grain contents in biochemical compounds were 415.17; 118.83; 118.33; 44.43; 36.53 and 10.83 mg/g of dry matter from total proteins, globulin, albumin, Glutelin, prolamin and glucide respectively.
