    STUDIES ON SUNFLOWER NECROSIS DISEASE
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 1999) HALAKERI, ANAND V; BYADGI, A S
    Sunflower necrosis disease, causing considerable damage to the crops, is a serious disease and present in almost all parts of Northern Karnataka wherever sunflower in grown. Affected plants were characterized by production of mosaic and chlorotic ringspots. In extreme cases the affected leaves developed marginal necrosis with reduction in leaf size. In later stage of disease development, affected plants produced mgdformed head and seeds of poor quality. The virus causing necrosis disease in sunflower was sap transmissible but not with ease. It was not transmitted through seeds and dodder. The virus was transmitted by thrips (Thrips fabad) vector from sunflower to sunflower and to tomato. But not by aphids, jassids and whiteflies. The virus had a narrow host range and infected only 3 plant species among 15 different hosts tested belonging to 6 families. The virus had DEP between 10 ^ to 10^, TIP between 35° to 40°C and retained infectivity upto 2 hours at room temperature. Based on symptoms, host range, transmission and physical properties, it was concluded that the sunflower necrosis disease in this area, is probably caused by member of Tomato spotted wilt virus (Tospovirus) group. In early infected crop (15 days after sowing) the disease had a severe effect on yield and yield parameters. The disease reduced yield of sunflower to a tune of 90.86 percent when appeared in early stage of the crop growth as compared to 31.69 percent when appeared late. Field trials indicated that the spread of the disease could be minimized by spraying Imidacloprid (0.025%) insecticide. None of the 56 sunflower hybrids screened were resistant to virus infection, but hybrid UH-32 and 7 others exhibited some tolerant properties.

    STUDIES ON FOLIAR DISEASES OF SESAME
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1999) Shekarappa, G; Patil, P V
    "Among several foliar diseases affecting sosaine corp alternaria leaf spot caused by Altemaria sesami and white spot caused hy Cercospora sesami has become a major constraint in sesame cultivation. Therefore, these foliar diseases have been studied in detail with different objectives with an ultimate aim of the control of these diseases. Survey revealed that maximum disease severity of Altemaria leaf spot was recorded from Dharwad taluk of Dharwad district and Basavakalyan taluk of Bidar district. Among the 172 sesame genotypes including three wild species screened against foliar diseases under filed conditions, three wild species viz, Sesamum malabaricum, S. occidentalis and 5"". radiatiim were found resistant and 12 genotypes ( Kalika, DORS-2 DS-9, 10, 28, 57, Bijapur local (brown), Tarikeri local, BSG-26, Kudalagi local, Madhavi and AVT-13) showed moderately resistant reaction to Altemaria leaf spot. In case of in vitro evaluation of nine fungicides, mancozeb and Azadirectin @ 0.3%, difenconazole and propiconazole @ 0.1% against Altemaria sesami and carbendazim @ 0.1% and mancozeb @ 0.3% against Cercospora sesami were found most effective. Copper oxychloride and Azadirectin (Nimbicidine) at all the concentrations tested were found least effective in inhibition of mycelial growth of both the fungi. In field evaluation of ten chemicals, 3 sprays of mancozeb (0.3%) + streptocycline (0.25%) combination and mancozeb (0.3%) alone have significantly reduced the severity of foliar diseases and increased the seed yield and oil content."
