    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-25) Verma, Pradeep Kumar; Negi, H. S.
    The present investigation entitled “Epidemiological studies on Alternaria blight, white rust and powdery mildew of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. and Coss.) was carried out in the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, UP during 2019- 2021. Disease survey was conducted in Banda and Hamirpur districts of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh in which average PDI of Alternaria blight, white rust and powdery mildew were 27.31 per cent, 30.39 per cent and 53.33 per cent, respectively in villages surveyed in Hamirpur district whereas, it was 28.0 per cent, 29.98 per cent and 59.92 per cent, respectively in villages surveyed in Banda district. In epidemiological studies, favourable weather conditions of maximum temperature ranging between 21.71-29.48°C, minimum temperature ranging 9.4 -14.0°C, maximum RH >90% upto 16th WAS and minimum RH between 36.14 – 56.42% with 12.30 mm rainfall were recorded during progression of Alternaria blight. Favourable weather conditions of maximum temperature ranging 21.71-29.48°C, minimum temperature ranging 9.4-14.0°C, maximum RH >90% upto 16th WAS and minimum RH between 36.14-56.42% with 12.30 mm rainfall were recorded during progression of white rust. Favourable weather conditions of maximum temperature ranging between 25.28-29.48°C, minimum temperature ranging 11.57-14.0°C, maximum RH of 80.42-91.25% and minimum RH between 36.14-48.57% with 12.30 mm rainfall during span of two weeks were recorded during progression of powdery mildew. A significantly positive correlation of per cent disease index of Alternaria blight, white rust and powdery mildew was reported with maximum and minimum temperature whereas, it was significantly and negatively correlated with maximum and minimum relative humidity however, it was non-significant and negatively correlated with rainfall in Indian mustard varieties Ganga, Varuna, Giriraj and RH-0749. Multiple regression equations explained that 98, 99, 98 and 97 per cent Alternaria blight development, 98, 97, 98 and 97 per cent white rust development, 96, 96, 95 and 96 per cent powdery mildew development was influenced by the maximum temperature, minimum temperature, maximum relative humidity, minimum relative humidity and rainfall in varieties Ganga, Varuna, Giriraj and RH0749, respectively. In effect of different dates of sowing on PDI of the Alternaria blight, lowest mean PDI of the disease (11.63% and 13.11%) was recorded from the 1stsown plots on 27th October whereas, the highest mean PDI of 20.83% and 21.01% was recorded from 4th sowing on 27th November in variety Ganga and Varuna, respectively. Lowest mean PDI of white rust (8.57% and 8.79%) was also recorded from the 1st sown plots whereas, the highest mean PDI of 17.82% and 18.74% was recorded from 4th sowing in variety Ganga and Varuna, respectively. Lowest mean PDI of the powdery mildew (20.43% and 19.01%) was also recorded from the 1st sown plots and the highest mean PDI of 50.79% and 49.34% was recorded from 4th sowing in variety Ganga and Varuna, respectively. Maximum average oilseed yield of 20.52 q/ha was obtained from mustard crops sown on 1st date i.e. 27th October which significantly reduced with the delay in sowing and was minimum in 4th sowing (13.28 q/ha). Minimum AUDPC of 716.35 and 802.38 was resulted in 1st sowing whereas, maximum AUDPC of 1330.70 and 1343.42 was resulted in 4th sowing for Alternaria blight in Ganga and Varuna, respectively. Minimum AUDPC of 527.64 and 533.24 was resulted in 1st sowing whereas, maximum AUDPC of 1125.52 and 1189.97 was resulted in 4th sowing for white rust in Ganga and Varuna, respectively. Lowest AUDPC of 988.96 and 920.98 was resulted in 1st sowing whereas, maximum AUDPC of 2617.16 and 2543.64 was resulted in 4th sowing for powdery mildew in Ganga and Varuna, respectively.

    Management of Anthracnose Disease of Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magn.) Briosi and Cav.
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-18) Singh, Shwetank; Prasad, Durga
    Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is an important short duration summer food legume in the tropical and sub-tropical countries of the world. In India, mungbean is cultivated in three different seasons’ viz., Kharif (July- Oct), Rabi (Sept- Dec) and Zaid or summer (March- June). This crop cultivated extensively in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Mungbean is consumed as whole grains as well as dal in a variety of ways in homes and it has wider adaptability and low input requirement. It is a highly nutritious source of proteins and calories in the Asian diet and its green pods contain high level of vitamins and minerals. Despite the multifaceted importance of this crop, its production could not be stabilized in the Uttar Pradesh as well as in the country. This crop is affected by several biotic constraints like diseases and insect-pests hampering its production. Among the diseases, anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is one of the most important fungal diseases of mungbean. Anthracnose disease appears during warm and humid weather leading to necrosis, defoliation and low yield. Keeping in view of importance of disease, experiments were conducted to isolation and identification of pathogen and to find out the efficient management strategies for this disease. The colony of isolated pathogen C. lindemuthianum onto potato dextrose agar medium was appeared cream to blackish grey, margin regular and immersed. The mycelium of was white initially, but developed dark black colour in advanced stage and grew rapidly. The hypha was septate and white to dark in colour. The conidia measuring 20.20-21.40 x 3.3-3.5μm were hyaline single celled, dumbbell shaped born in acervuli bearing setae. The healthy plants inoculated with pathogen showed dark brown to black sunken lesions on leaves, mostly adjacent to veins; which later become greyish white centre with dark brown or reddish margin. Twice sprays of Carbendazim at 1st appearance of symptoms and 15 days interval gave the maximum reduction in anthracnose incidence and severity i.e. 51.12% and 64.56%, respectively along with significant enhancement (53.39%) in seed yield (quintal/ha) as well as in yield components (except number of primary branches per plant and number of seed per pod) over the unprotected crop during both of the crop seasons i.e. Kharif 2019 and 2020. It was followed by the twice sprays of Carbendazim + Mancozeb or Tebuconazole with respective parameters. Sprays of Captan + Hexaconazole were found to be least effective to reduce the disease incidence/ severity as well as to increase the yield and its components. Out of 190 mungbean genotypes evaluated against anthracnose disease during two consecutive crop seasons, four genotypes viz., Pairy Mung, PMG-991, MGG-295 and Kopargaon were found to be moderately resistant against anthracnose disease.

    STUDIES ON TOLERANCE AND SENSITIVITY OF NEMATODE-TRAPPING FUNGUS Drechslerella brochopaga TO COMMON FUNGICIDES
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-30) Dwivedi, Hariom; Kumar, Dharmendra
    Drechslerella brochopaga Drechsler, a strangulating nematode-trapping fungus was studies for their adoptability in soil and their tolerance against some common fungicides. D.brochopaga was isolated from horticultural soil of Baberu, Banda. The fungus was characterized and identified by the use of relevant literature. The fungus was found to effectively capture and kill the 96.4 per cent second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita by its three celled constricting ring produced on hyphae within 3 days. The study of adaptability of D. brochopaga in various agricultural and horticulture soil of Banda revealed that this fungus is frequenlty formed conidial trap in vicinity to soil and parastize nematodes. The study of the tolerance of conidia of D. brochopaga with soil amended with different concentrated of common fungicide indicate that this fungus is highly toxic to chlorothallonil was various range of tolerance/sensitivity with common fungicide. Conidia of D. brochopaga were found most sensitive to chlorothalonil and propineb at 10 µl ai kg-1 concentration followed by carbendazim, mencozeb, copper oxychloride, copper sulphate, thiram which inhibited the conidial trap formation at 25 mg ai kg-1 ppm. Tebuconazole inhibited completely inhibited the fungus at 100 µl ai kg-1 whereas Metalaxyl and Sulphur completely inhibited the fungus at 300 mg ai kg-1 . D. brochopaga showed tolerance to propiconazole up to 300 mg ai kg-1 but the fungus was completely inhibited at 400 mg ai kg-1 .The result of the present study indicate that D. brochopaga is sensitive to most of the fungicides tested under the present study. The fungus showed tolerance to Metalaxyl, propiconazole and Sulphur below 200 mg/µl ai kg-1 concentration of in soil.
