Efficacy of Newer Molecules, Bioagents and Botanicals against Maydis Leaf Blight and Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight of Maize

Maize (Zea mays L.; 2N=20) is major staple food crop grown worldwide adapted to several biotic and abiotic stresses. Maydis leaf blight (MLB) and banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) are serious foliar fungal diseases may cause up to 40% and 100% grain yield loss, respectively. The present studies were undertaken to work out the efficacy of chemicals, botanicals and bioagents for the management...

BANDED LEAF AND SHEATH BLIGHT OF MAIZE INCITED BY Rhizoctonia solanif.spsasakii AND ITS MANAGEMENT. A REVIEW

Globally maize (Zea mays L.) is the first and most important cereal crop grown under diverse environments unmatched by any other crop, as expansion of maize to new areas and environment still continues due to its range of plasticity.Maize has a wide adaptability to diverse agro-climatic conditions around the world. Maize was introduced to India in the beginning of 17 century. It is now one of t...

Analysis of Digenic Epistatic and QTL × Environment Interactions for Resistance to Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight in Maize (Zea mays)

Maize banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) due to Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, is an increasing problem in maize production areas, particularly in China and Southeast of Asian. A genetic map containing 146 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 229 F2 plants derived from the cross R 15 (resistant) × Ye 478 (susceptible) were used in this study. QTL were characterized in a population of 229 F2:4 l...

OCCURRENCE OF NORTHERN LEAF BLIGHT, Phaeosphaeria LEAF SPOT , SOUTHERN LEAF BLIGHT, RUST AND MAIZE STREAK VIRUS IN KENYA

Effect of Bio-Agents, Neem Leaf Extract and Fungicides Against Alternaria Leaf Blight of Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)

The experiment was conducted under in vitro and field conditions to observe the effect of bio-agents, botanical and fungicides against Alternaria triticina. Eight treatments were taken up with three replications and data collected was analyzed using CRD. Maximum inhibition per cent mycelia growth was observed in Propiconazole (89.72%), Hexaconazole (88.44%), Vitavax (87.70%), followed by Tricho...
