INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF COLLAR ROT OF BELL PEPPER
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 61
Abstract
Collar rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de bary is one of the most important diseases of Sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L .var. grossum Sendt.) causing severe damage to the crop and reducing potential yield. To develop an effective management practice against stem rot of bell pepper, integration of Cultural components, Chemical and biological control revealed that combination of ridge planting + E. globulus(10%) + Bavistin (0.1%) was the most effective treatment with minimum disease incidence (22.15%) and maximum disease control (77.17%) followed by raised bed + Eucalyptus globulus + Bavistin, flat field + Eucalyptus globulus + Bavistin, ridge planting + Bavistin, raised bed + Bavistin. Ridge planting + Eucalyptus globulus, raised bed+ Eucalyptus globulus, flat field + Bavistin and flat field + Eucalyptus globules were also effective. It is cheaper and eco-friendly practice for the control of collar rot of sweet pepper.
