Abstract

Out of tested ten treatments of fungicides, bioagents and nutrients seed treatments iprodione +carbendazim (1:1)@ 2g/kg seed, was found to be most effective in reducing disease intensity with increasing yield and 1000 seed weight, followed by removal of three lower leaves. ZnSO₄+ sulphur as per recommendation was the most effective fungicide for the management of powdery mildew disease.
