Experiment Background
|
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is one of the major
pulse crops of tropics and sub tropics of India. Pigeon pea is known
to be affected by more than hundred pathogens but main constraints
in boosting the yield of the crop is wilt and stem canker disease.
Recent years Macrophomina stem blight disease has become major
constraints in successful and profitable cultivation of pigeon pea
caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. Organic farming has strongly attracted the growers, being an important priority area in view of the growing demand for safe and healthy food and long term sustainability that concern on environmental pollution associated with indiscriminate use of pesticides. This trend is recently receiving greater interest among scientist, providing effective control against the target pathogens and avoiding environmental pollution. A number of reports on using biocontrol agent to control soil borne pathogen infesting pulse crops are available. Macrophomina pathogen is the most important disease of pigeon pea in India resulting yield losses. Considering economic importance of diseases present investigation was carried out for eco-friendly management against stem canker disease of pigeon pea under field condition applying different biaogents the soils as well as foliar application.
