Abstract
Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk.) is an important medicinal plant. Isabgol crop
suffers a lot due to fungal diseases. Among these downy mildew caused by
Peronospora plantaginis Underwood is the most important and wide spread disease,
which appears in severe form every year and causes extensive damage to the crop.
Therefore, investigations were carried out on management of downy mildew using
fungicides, phytoextracts, and one bio-agent. Besides, seed health status of isabgol
seeds was also studied in terms of blackening of seeds, seed weight, seed
germination, seedling vigour and seed mycoflora load to assess the influence of
disease. The present investigations were conducted during the year 2004–05.
