| dc.description.abstract | Varietal susceptibility of different cultivars to the leaf spot diseases of banana was studied in an existing plantation, consisting of 18 varieties in the Instructional Farm, Vellayani. It was found that Robusta and Chakkarakeli were the most susceptible while Venattumonthan and Mass being the least susceptible. Different types of leaf spots viz., Cordana leaf spot, Deightoniella leaf spot, Helminthosporium leaf spot, Septoria leaf spot and Cercospora leaf spot were studied, and the fungi associated with them were also isolated, Growth and sporulation of all these fungi were studied in different media. Power oil was observed to be the best fungicide eventhough there was no significant difference between power oil, Difolatan and Bavistin in the fungicidal control of leaf spot diseases. It was found that carbondioxide does not have any role in enhancing the keeping quality. Both partial filling and complete filling of the gas were seem to enhance deterioration. When higher concentrations of benomyl were tried it was found that 600 ppm was superior to all other treatmentsIn 500 gauge polythene bags. Eventhough different fungicides like Bordeaux mixture, benomyl and lime water were tried in different gauges of polythene bags viz., 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500, 600 ppm benonyl in 200 gauge polythene bags was found to be the best in preserving the fruits followed by lime water, and Bordeaux mixture | en_US |
