Experiment Title Management of powdery mildew disease of mungbean
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] which is also known as moong, green gram, golden gram, chicksaw pea or Oregon pea. Powdery mildew is major problem mungbean cultivation and causes severe yield loss. This disease is caused Erysiphe polygoni, which produces conidiophores carrying chains of white conidia. The disease appears on all the part of plants above soil surface. Disease initiates as faint dark spots, which develop into small white powdery spots, coalesceing to form white powdery coating on leaves, stems and pods. At the advance stages, the color of the powdery mass turns dirty white. The disease induces forced maturity of the infected plant causing heavy yield losses and its intensity increases in stress condition. The pathogen overwinters and survives on the host tissue in the form of cleistothecia. Unlike most fungal plant pathogens, the powdery mildews do not require the surface of the host plant to be wet for infection, favoured by high humidity. It is favoured by cooler conditions and is widespread in the late planted crop.So the present research experiment has designed with following objective.
