Abstract:Diseases especially caused by fungal pathogens are the main biological constraints in Asalio production and Alternaria leaf spot disease caused by
Alternaria alternata is one of the most economically important diseases of Asalio. Fungicides, botanicals and combi products of fungicides application are an effective way to control this disease. The current study tests the efficacy of various fungicides for controlling the Alternaria leaf spot disease of Asalio.
Two combi products, two individual fungicides and two botanicals was evaluated on pot grown Asalio for sensitivity Aganist A. alternata. Among these treatments combi products i.e., Metiram 70% + Pyraclostrobin 20% WG (0.35% concentration) was found most effective in inhibiting mycelial growth of A. alternata in pot grown Asalio. In pot experiment treatment consisting combination of fungicide (found most effective In vitro) and botanical (found most effective In vitro) was observed to be most effective for managing Alternaria leaf spot disease of Asalio.
