| dc.description.abstract | Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is an important and most widely grown vegetable crop of both tropics and sub tropics of the world, belonging to the family Solanaceae and ranks second in importance among vegetables. Tomato is also known as “love apple” and “Apple of Peru”. Tomato ranks third in priority after potato and onion in India but ranks second after potato in the world. India ranks third in the area but fourth in production. Among the fungal diseases, damping-off caused by Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson) Fitzpatrick in nurseries is a major constraint in tomato production causing 62% mortality of seedlings. P. aphanidermatum is the major species causing 75-80 per cent damping-off in tomato. Present investigation was carried out in view of the seriousness of disease problem in tomato crop and to generate new information on management as well as residues of fungicides. | en_US |
