ThesisItem Open Access MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND VARIABILITY OF Alternaria burnsii (UPPAL, PATEL & KAMAT) CAUSING BLIGHT OF CUMIN(DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Sawant Shraddha Bhaskar; Dr. R. G. ParmarCumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) popularly known as Jeera or Jiroo is the most important spice crop in India. Gujarat is second largest producer next to Rajasthan with 50-55% of total production of India. Cumin crop suffers with blight disease caused by Alternaria burnsii. Looking to the seriousness of the disease, investigations on certain aspects of the management were carried out and reported here as under: The isolation was made from infected seeds, branches, stems and umbels of cumin plants showing typical blight symptoms were collected from Ahmedabad, Surendranagar, Banaskantha, Patan and Morbi (isolates designated as Ab-1 to Ab-15) areas of Gujarat. These revealed the association of A. burnsii. The isolated fungus, A. burnsii satisfied Koch’s postulate on cumin plant. The identity of Alternaria burnsii was confirmed by DNA sequencing done at the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, BACA, AAU, Anand and the rDNA homology searches were performed using the BLAST program through the internet server at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA). Sequences and accession numbers for compared isolates were retrived from the GenBank database.

ParmarSoybean [Glycine max (L.)] is one of the most important legume and oilseed crop in the world which is originated in China and it is member of family Leguminaceae subfamily Papilionoidae and genus Glycine. Soybean also known as golden bean, is a good source of vegetable protein and oil and is the most likely solution for overcoming world protein hunger. It is affected by several foliar and soil borne pathogens. Macrophomina phaseolina inciting root and collar rot is an emerging problem in many of the crops due to rise in surface temperature. In recent years, root rot caused by M. phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid. has been one of the major yield reducer and economically important disease of soybean, causing remarkable yield losses. Owing to the importance of this disease, the present study on dry root rot caused by M. phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid in soybean was carried out on various aspects at the Department of Plant Pathology, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during 2018-2019 to explore the possibilities of resistant genotypes, bio-agents and fungicides for the management of this disease.ThesisItem Open Access EPIDEMIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF EARLY BLIGHT [Alternaria solani (Ellis and Martin) Jones and Grout] IN TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum L.)(DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2019) Parmar Tanviben D.; Dr. N. M. GohelTomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most remunerative and widely grown vegetables in the world. It is a small annual or short-lived perennial herb belonging to the family Solanaceae. It is a regular kitchen component of Indian diet which is used as raw fruit. The attractive red colour of the fruit is due to lycopene and the yellow colour is due to carotenes. Hence, tomatoes are called “poor man’s apple”. The crop is affected by a number of diseases of which early blight incited by Alternaria solani is an economically important disease. Airborne nature of the pathogen creates difficulties for effective disease management. Considering the importance of the disease, the present study on various aspects of the disease was carried out in Department of Plant Pathology, B. A.

PARMARRice(Oryza sativaL.) a cereal plant of the family Gramineae extensively cultivated in warm climate, especially in East Asia, producing seeds that are cooked and used as staple food. Rice is a plant of Asian origin. Rice crop is known to suffer from many biotic and abiotic stresses. Rice in general and irrigated rice in particular, is the target of attack by more than 100 species of insects and pathogenic organisms that known to destabilize the yields. The sheath rot has been prevailing in Middle Gujarat and South Gujarat since 1985 and increasing day by day. In some years, it caused major quantitative and qualitative losses. Also in some varieties it was low to moderate and severe in few fields of different districts in Middle Gujarat and South Gujarat.Considering the importance of rising problem of sheath rot disease, investigations on following aspects related to sheath rot disease was carried out on Isolation, purification and pathogenicity of Sarocladiumoryzaecausing sheath rot of rice s creening of rice varieties for resistance to the pathogen, estimation of soluble proteinprotein, total phenoland peroxidase activity of infected and healthy tissues and evaluation of fungicides against sheath rot of rice in vitro and in vivo.ThesisItem Open Access STATUS OF SEED MYCOFLORA OF MUNGBEAN [Vigna radiata (L.)Wilczek] CULTIVARS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT(2017) CHAUDHARI RAMEELA I.; Dr. V. R. GOHELMungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is one of the most important and extensively cultivated pulse crops. It is commonly known as “mung”, “greengram” or “mungbean”. In India, pulses can be produced with a minimum use of resources and hence, it becomes less costly even than animal protein. It is an excellent source of protein considered as a “poor men’s protein”. Diseases are the major constraint in economic crop production as they inflict heavy losses. Contaminated seed can often result in poor germination and poor seedling vigour, resulting in an un-healthy crop. Field fungus associated with seeds cause deterioration of seed quality, affect viability and reduces germination.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON SPAWN PRODUCTION AND EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF PINK OYSTER MUSHROOM(DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B.
