Integrated Management of Blast Disease in Finger Millet

Aims: To test the effect of bacterial biocontrol agents (Pseudomonas-TNAU-Pf1) and fungicides (Tricyclazole) individually their integration as seed treatment foliar spray against finger millet blast under field conditions.
 Study Design: The experiments were conducted in a Randomized Block design.
 Place Duration Study: at Regional Research Station farm, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Paiyur, Krishnagiri District, Nadu, India, during 2016-17 2017-18.
 Methodology: Two to evaluate efficacy talc-based formulation Pseudomonas -TNAU-Pf1 Tricyclazole combination application for management with five treatments four replications using variety Paiyur 2. bioagent fungicide applied spray.
 Results: results revealed that (10g/kg) plus two sprays tricyclazole (0.1%) one maximum tillering phase another heading was significantly most effective reducing leaf, neck both seasons. recorded 1.65 1.25PDI leaf blast, 0.33 0.22% 2.55 1.33% first second season, respectively. also highest grain yield 2663 2543 kg/ha BC ratio 1:3.94 1:3.85 respectively.
 Conclusion: Seed TNAU-Pf1 found be incidence disease increasing millet.
