Integrated management of bacterial wilt of brinjal incited by Ralstonia solanacearum

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to find out the effective treatments for integrated management of bacterial wilt incited by Ralstonia solanacearum infecting brinjal CV. Mattigulla during Kharif-2016. Among the treatments combination of Neem cake+P. fluorescens+ T. harzianum+streptocycline+copper-oxychloride (T11) showed less per cent wilt incidence at 60 DAT (25.70%) and 90 DAT (26.26%). Further per cent disease reduction over control was significantly highest was observed (29.24%) and yield obtained in treated plot was highest and significant yield of 19.27 kg/plot was recorded.The average plant height and number of flowers was recorded more in P. fluorescens treatment (58.5 cm and 8.4) was recorded.
