Chrysanthemum is one of the commercially important flower crop with great potential both as loose and cut flowers in Karnataka state. In the present study, prevalence and incidence of leaf blight disease was studied in six major growing districts of South Karnataka during 2012 - 2013. The pathogen associated with leaf blight disease was isolated and identified as Alternaria alternata. The study revealed that, the disease was distributed in Southern districts of Karnataka wherever Chrysanthemum is grown. The varieties Chandini and Karnel were more susceptible to blight showing highest disease incidence (100%) and severity (100%) recorded from Mandya and Mysore regions. The lowest disease incidence, severity and PDI of 18.40%, 38.68% and 24.89% were recorded on Rajawhite variety in Bangalore region. During 2013, the highest disease incidence, severity and PDI with 100%, 98.47%, and 45.71% were recorded in Mysore district on Chandini variety. In vitro evaluation of four fungicides on Alternaria alternata revealed that Carbendazim+Mancozeb was most effective with 95.65% inhibition followed by Carbendazim, Mancozeb and Metalaxyl+Mancozeb with 68.26%, 91.30% and 91.30% inhibition of the mycelium at 2.0% concentration.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v9i3.12465   International Journal of Life Sciences 9 (3): 2015; 38-45

Egusi melon (Citrullus lanatus (Thumb) Mansf.) is an important vegetable crop grown for edible seeds and oil in West Africa. Leaf Blight Disease (LBD) is one of the major constraints to its production, with potential to cause economic damage. The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence and distribution of leaf blight on Egusi melon in Southwestern Nigeria. A survey of LBD of Egusi melon was conducted in 2015 and 2016, in five southwestern States of Nigeria (Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States). Twenty plants each, were randomly sampled from 150 farms comprising 30 farms each, from each State. The distribution of different Egusi melon varieties planted was recorded. “Bara” cv. was the most cultivated variety (51.6%); followed by “Bojuri” (30.4%) and “Serewe” (18%). Leaf blight was observed in most farms in the five States, from 73% in Osun and Oyo states to 83% in Ondo State. Disease incidence and severity varied with locations and cultivars, and ranged from 0.0-87.5±18% and 1.0±0-4.5±0.8 in Osun State to 20.0±19 - 95.0±4.5% and 2.3±1.5 - 5.0±0 in Ondo State. Out of the twelve fungal pathogens from ten genera isolated from infected plants, only Colletotrichum truncatum, C. gloeosporioides and Lasiodiplodia theobromae caused Leaf blight on Egusi melon. Key words: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Colletotrichum truncatum, Lasiodiplodia theobromae

Taro leaf blight (TLB), a major disease of taro plant caused by Phytophthora colocasiae, a pseudo-fungus, that occurs in many taro producing areas, especially in the South West of Cameroon. A Survey was conducted to assess farmers’ knowledge, as well as to determine the incidence and the severity of the disease in taro fields. Structured questionnaires were administered in selected locations (Bokova, Ekona, Muea, Mile 16, Mutengene, and Likomba) of taro production. Two farms were selected with two quadrats of 64 m2 each were carved to assess disease incidence and severity on taro. The number of plants infected with taro leaf blight were counted and the area of the affected leaves measured was used to evaluate the disease incidence and disease severity. Data collected were subjected to ANOVA for complete randomized design and the means were compared using Tukey test at 0.05 probability levels. The results revealed that most of the farmers could identify the disease while practicing cultural methods in controlling the disease. The results also revealed significant differences (p = 0.001) in disease incidence and disease severity in all the localities, with Mile 16 showing the highest percentage mean of 96.53% and 85.59%, respectively. The severity scored showed high infection range of 3 – 3.95 in all locations except in Likomba (2.60).  It could be concluded from the results that there were high prevalence of taro leaf blight disease in Fako Division. Good management strategies are therefore required to control Taro leaf blight and improve taro production in the area.

Taro leaf blight causes up to 100% yield loss in susceptible taro (Colocasia esculenta L. (Schott)) cultivars. The use of fungicides in disease management is fast and effective; however efficacy of fungicides could be affected by frequency of application. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of spraying intervals and economic benefits of Ridomil Plus 66 WP (12% Metalaxyl-M and 60% Copper (1) oxide) on taro leaf blight disease. The study consisted of four fungicide spraying intervals, viz at one, two and at four weekly intervals, all at the concentration of 3.3 g l-1 and no fungicide application as the control. Results showed no significant differences (P > 00.5) between one and two weekly spraying intervals in terms of taro leaf blight disease incidence and severity. These were, however, significantly different (P < 0.05) from four weekly and no fungicide applications. Taro corm yield was higher in weekly spraying interval, but not significantly different (P > 0.05) from biweekly application intervals. Yields in weekly intervals were 2.9, 33.0 and 44.0% higher than biweekly, four weekly and no application intervals. Applying fungicide at a biweekly interval was found to be economically efficient as it recorded higher total revenue and net present values. Applying 66 WP (12% Metalaxyl-M and 60% Copper (1) oxide) at 2 weekly interval was the optimum period and most efficient to reduce the incidence and severity of Phytophthora leaf blight disease and increase yield of taro.

Leaf blight of seven varieties of litchi caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae was surveyed in the nurseries of major litchi growing areas in Bangladesh viz. Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Rangpur, Mymensingh and Khagrachari. The mean level of incidence and severity were 8.58 and 7.88% in Rajshahi, 9.88 and 8.88% in Dinajpur, 8.44 and 7.76% in Rangpur, 6.50 and 6.18% in Mymensingh and 9.00 and 7.98% in Khagrachari. Incidence and severity of bacterial leaf blight disease of litchi varied significantly depending on weather conditions. Correlation studies revealed that bacterial leaf blight disease of litchi seedlings were positively correlated with temperature, rainfall and relative humidity, where temperature and rainfall was the major factor to the variations of both incidence and severity. Antibiotic sensitivity test revealed that among fifteen isolates, most of the isolates of P. syringae pv. syringae collected from litchi were sensitive to Gentamycin and Erythromycin. Under net house condition, six different treatments (i) Gentamycin @ 0.05%, (ii) Erythromycin @ 0.05%, (iii) Doxycycline @ 0.05%,(iv) Copper sulphate @ 0.05%, (v) BAU-Biofungicide @ 2% and (vi) Control were used for controlling bacterial leaf blight of litchi (Variety: China-3). BAU-Biofungicide was found to be superior in controlling bacterial leaf blight of litchi that reduced 33.64% disease incidence and 60.77 % disease severity in 2010-11 and 63.76% disease incidence and 61.40 % disease severity in 2011-12 over control when applied as foliar spray @ 2% followed by Copper sulphate (0.05%) and Erythromycin (0.05%).The Agriculturists 2017; 15(1) 10-18

Aim: To identify the resistant source present in the breeding materials against Alternaria leaf blight disease of cotton (Gossypium spp.). Methodology: Breeding entries were sown in a randomized complete block design in the experimental site. Disease intensity on each genotype at 45, 90, 135 and 180 days after sowing (DAS) were recorded from leaves of lower, middle and upper parts of plants and graded. According to 0 - 4 disease scoring scale, per cent disease index (PDI) was calculated and genotypes were categorized into different categories based on disease reaction Results: Development of Alternaria disease was noticed at early days of crop growth in few genotypes and the disease increased upto 135 days after sowing. The maximum mean per cent disease index of 41.17 and 40.06 were recorded in Br.14a (ZT)1333 and Br.14a (ZT)1332 respectively. The least PDI of 0.58 was recorded in Br.03a (ZT)1303. Disease incidence of <11.00% of was reported in 37 entries at 45 days after sowing. None of the genotypes showed apparently immune reaction, twenty-one genotypes showed resistant reaction, eleven genotypes were moderately resistant and five showed moderately susceptible reaction. Interpretation: Twenty-one breeding lines showed resistant reaction against Alternaria leaf blight disease under field conditions, however, further utilization of these lines may be carried out in breeding programmes for the development of resistant source against this disease.
