Abstract:
Powdery mildew is a major foliar disease of mulberry in Kashmir that causes significant qualitative and quantitative losses in leaf yield. To ascertain the current status of powdery mildew disease affecting mulberry during the peak season i.e. September-October, an extensive survey was conducted in six districts of Kashmir during 2021 and 2022. From each district, three locations were selected for recording observations on incidence and intensity of the disease. The overall disease incidence throughout Kashmir was found to be 71.43 percent. Mulberry plantations were more affected in district Anantnag with highest disease incidence (91.80%) and intensity (83.12%) and least in district Ganderbal with disease incidence and intensity of 27.0 percent and 28.28 percent, respectively. Among the locations surveyed, Sarnal Bala of district Anantnag exhibited the highest disease incidence of 95.70 percent whereas Rangil of district Ganderbal exhibited least disease incidence of 12.80 percent.
