Bio-effectors for management of grey leaf blight disease on mango

Abstract

Mango is one of the important fruit crops grown extensively in Gujarat which was found severely affected by grey leaf blight disease at Horticulture farm of Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. Looking to disease severity, present investigation was carried out to study the biological management measures against the disease in order to minimize the crop losses. The promising antagonists were studied under greenhouse condition on cv. Kesar. Among them P. fluorescens, T. viride and T. harzianum were found promising as potential biological control agents against grey leaf blight of mango.
