Assessment of grain and stalk yield losses due to anthracnose of green gram caused by Colletotrichum truncatum (Schw.) Andrus and Moore in Northern Karnataka

Abstract

Studies were conducted to assess the grain and stalk yield losses due to anthracnose of greengram using carbendazim 50 WP in susceptible variety Chinamung. Comparatively lower disease index with increase in grain and stalk yield and also maximum BCR was recorded in plots receiving two sprays of Carbendazim. The average grain yield loss of 39.98 per cent and stalk yield loss of 47.19 per cent were noticed due to anthracnose in unsprayed plots, yield loss models using simple linear regression functions.
