Integrated approaches for management of anthracnose of chilli (Capsicum annuum L)

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the field to test the effect of organic amendments, (viz. FYM, poultry manure, sheep manure, neem cake and ground nut cake) with Pseudomonas fluorescens and carbendazim are used against Colletotrichum capsici, anthracnose disease of chili and chilli growth parameters. Eight treatments were under taken with three replications and data was analyzed using RBD. Minimum disease intensity was recorded in T1 – NPK+ carbendazim (26.13%) with maximum yield (103.83 q/ha) followed by T5 - FYM + Pseudomonas fluorescens (26.40%) with yield (95.79 qa/ha),T3 - Pseudomonas fluorescens seedling treatment + Pseudomonas fluorescens (28.56%), with yield (92.52qa/ha), T2 - Neem cake+ Pseudomonas fluorescens (32%), with yield (90.25 qa/ha), T6 Sheep manure + Pseudomonas fluorescens (33.14%) with yield (85.44 qa/ha), T7-Poultry manure + Pseudomonas fluorescens (35.55%) with yield (82.11 qa/ha), T4-Groundnut cake+ Pseudomonas fluorescens-(37.77%) with yield (77.86 qa/ha) maximum disease intensity was recorded in control (49.03) with lowest yield ((36.71 qa/ha)
