The investigation regarding variability and management of Bipolaris sorokiniana, the causal organism of spot blotch of wheat and the yield loss caused by it was carried out during the year 2014-15. The disease was reported in all the wheat growing areas of Jammu subtropics with the maximum AIDX observed in Kathua district with the range of 29.55-48.15 per cent, fol...

Results obtained during the course of investigation revealed maximum leaf turgidity (82.46% RWC) under polythene mulched trees closely followed by cutgrass mulch. Similarly maximum total Chlorophyll was observed under mulched trees (7.12-7.43 mgs/lit) followed by 8-hydroxy quinol 1200 ppm. Salicylic acid regardless of its concentration and NAA at 250 ppm led to sig...
