    STUDIES ON DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES FOR SPAWN PRODUCTION, GROWTH AND YIELD OF OYSTER MUSHROOM (Pleurotus spp.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY BANDA- 210001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2024-09-03) SWETA SAHU; Dr. H. S. Negi
    The present study on the topic of “Studies on different substrates for spawn production, growth and yield of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.)” was carried out at Mushroom Research and Training Centre, Department of Plant Pathology, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh during 2023 to 2024. The three different strain for Pleurotus are used for this experiment are Pleurotus flabellatus (DMRP-5), Pleurotus sajor-caju (Pl-19) and Pleurotus florida (DMR-136). In case of spawn production, sorghum grains exhibited the highest growth at 89.55 mm, closely followed by sorghum (88.88 mm) and pearl millet (86.55 mm) after 240 hrs of inoculation in Pleurotus flabellatus. Sorghum exhibited the highest growth at 89.93 mm followed by wheat (87.69 mm) and pearl millet (85.44 mm) in Pleurotus sajor-caju. Sorghum exhibited the highest growth at 90.00 mm, followed by pearl millet (87.53 mm) and wheat (85.44 mm) in Pleurotus florida. Among seven different media viz. corn meal agar, oat meal agar, potato dextrose agar, yeast extract mannitol agar, malt extract agar, V8-juice agar and Czapek dox agar potato dextrose agar media was found best media with 90.00 mm growth in all three strains of mushroom at 240 hrs of inoculation. Seven different pH evaluated viz. 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 for mycelial growth in which pH 7.0 resulted best for mycelial growth (90.00 mm) of all three strains of Pleurotus spp. at 240 hrs of inoculation. Six different temperatures viz. 10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃, 30℃ and 35℃ were also evaluated among which highest mycelial growth of 90.00 mm was resulted at 25℃ in all three strains of Pleurotus spp. at 240 hrs of inoculation. Twelve different types of combination were evaluated for mushroom production among them, wheat straw resulted in least number of days for spwan run, pin head initiation, fruiting body formation and fruiting body maturity of all three tested Pleurotus spp. Whereas, Paddy straw + Chickpea straw resulted in maximum yield of 726 g/Kg, 825 g/Kg and 860 g/Kg in Pleurotus flabellatus, Pleurotus sajor-caju and Pleurotus florida, respectively.

    STUDIES ON STIMULATED EFFECT OF ORGANIC AMENDMENTS IN SOIL ON BIO-CONTROL POTENTIAL OF NEMATODETRAPPING FUNGUS Drechslerella brochopaga DRECHSLER.
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY BANDA-210001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2024-09-19) YOGENDRA; Dr. Dharmendra Kumar
    Drechslerella brochopaga Drechsler was isolated from the soil of the Banda district and characterized by using the relevant literatures. D. brochopaga was found to capture and parasitize the nematodes by using constricting ring. In vitro efficacy test of D. brochopaga against M.inognita resulted in the formation of traps that subsequently capture and kill the M. incognita. Maximum trap formation (24.5) and trapping of M. incognita (J2) (98.60%) were observed in D. brochopaga after 96hours of inoculation. The germination and carnivorous ability of D. brochopaga in different soil of farms of Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda was be tested. D. brochopaga showed inhibitory effect of soil fungistasis on germination (0.00-28.55%) but formed frequent conidial trap in vicinity of soil (61.66- 97.17%). Trapping of free-living nematodes was also observed by the conidial trap of D. brochopaga. Application of neem cake at the concentration of 0.5%, 1% showed no toxic effect on germination on conidia of D. brochopaga, but at concentration of 2%, 3%, 5% neem cake completely inhibited the germination of spores of D. brochopaga after 24 h of amendment. The inhibitory effect of neem cake was reduced after 15 days of amendment, while after 30 days after amendment the inhibitory effect was completely lost, and the spore germinated by conidial trap as in unamended soil. Amendment of soil with Rabbitdung, Cow dung showed no toxic effect on conidial trap formation. It has been observed that the population of saprophytic nematodes increases several folds after neemcake, rabbit dung, cow dungamendment, which can serve as pabulum for the fungus and increase the population of D. brochopaga. The best temperature for growth and CT formation of D. brochopaga was observed at 25ºC. Bio efficacy test of D.brochopaga with organic amendment in root-knot infested soil resulted in the reduction of number of root-knot (67.17-80.33%) and second stage juvenile of M. incognita (71.26-86.08%) by D.brochopaga. The efficacy of D.brochopaga against M. incognita was enhanced when the fungus was applied with neem cake manure amended soil. The result of research carried out under the thesis indicates that D. brochopaga was potential nematode-trapper and well adoptive in soil of Banda.

    DISEASE PROGRESSION AND INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF FINGER MILLET BLAST CAUSED BY Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc.
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA-210001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2024-09-20) SINGH ROMA; Dr. H. S. Negi
    The present study was carried out during Kharif- 2023 at Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda. In epidemiological studies, the maximum temperature ranging 32.35 to 36.03°C, minimum temperatures ranging 26.79 to 28.43°C, along with >90% relative humidity and intermittent rains were the most important weather factors favouring development of blast disease in finger millet. Minimum temperature, maximum relative humidity and minimum relative humidity was highly significant and negative correlated with PDI of finger millet variety KMR-301. The coefficient of determination (R2) values depicted 72, 70, 76, 74 and 81 per cent disease development in varieties KMR-301, RAU-03, RAU- 08, ATL-01, and GPU-67 was influenced by the weather variables viz. maximum temperature, minimum temperature, maximum relative humidity, minimum relative humidity and rainfall. Maximum and minimum AUDPC of 2180.71 and 601.93 was obtained in varieties KMR-301 and GPU-67, respectively. Maximum apparent infection rate of 0.18 in variety KMR-301 and ALT-01 was observed at 8 week after sowing (WAS), whereas, in varieties RAU-03 (0.09), RAU-08 (0.12) and GPU-67 (0.17) it was observed at 9 WAS. Under in vitro condition, Propiconazole+Tricyclazole was found most effective and significantly superior among all the treatments with 87.12 per cent average mycelial growth inhibition. Among botanicals, Neem seed extract was found most effective and significantly superior among all the treatments with 68.14 per cent average inhibition. Seed treatment with Carboxin+Thiram alongwith two foliar sprays of Propiconazole+Tricyclazole was found most effective with maximum disease reduction (93.03%) and yield of 30.07 q/ha hence, this treatment combination may be recommended for the effective management of blast disease in finger millet.
