Management of Alternaria blight of Ashwagandha Using fungicides

Abstract

A study was done in the field during the years 2019-20 and 2020-21 to investigate the management of Alternaria blight in Ashwagandha using fungicides. The fungicides Vitavax Power and Mancozeb had the lowest PDI values of 5.4 and 5.6, respectively, out of the six fungicides that were assessed. The highest yield was observed in Vitavax Power (7.5 q/ha) and Mancozeb (6.7 q/ha), whereas Chlorothalonil had a yield of 5.8 q/ha.
