Management of coriander wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) through cultural practices as organic amendments and date of sowing

Abstract

The trials were conducted with various organic amendments i.e. Neem oil cake, Groundnut cake, Castor cake, Mustard cake & Poultry manure and Four dates of sowing i.e. 30thOctober, 10th, 20th & 30th November. Analysis of pooled data showed that crop planted on 30thNovember showed minimum disease incidence and crop sown on 30thOctober showed maximum disease incidence and minimum seed yield. Data indicated that crop planted on 30th November gave highest yield 639.25 kg/ha. Studies on the relative efficacy of organic cakes in under field conditions showed Neem oil cake was found most effective followed by Mustard oil cake. Poultry manure were found least effective Among these organic amendment. Neem oil cake recorded 21.45 per cent disease incidence with 52.25 per cent disease control and 790.50 kg/ha seed yield by increasing 119.02 per cent seed yield.
