Experiments were carried out during 2005-08 to study the effect of weather prevalence of seedling diseases of jackfruit in different areas of Bangladesh and develop an environment friendly disease management practice. Leaf spot causal pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was identified. Incidence and severity of leaf spot at seedling stage were studied and significant variations were observed depending on weather factors. Occurrence of seedling diseases was significantly influenced by temperature, rainfall and relative humidity. Comparative effectiveness of BAU-biofungicide either alone or in combination with two fungicides viz. Cupravit and Bavistin were evaluated on jackfruit in the nursery. Among the treatments applied, Trichoderma harzianum based BAU-Biofungicide showed best result in controlling leaf spot disease.

The effect of weather on prevalence of seedling diseases of coconut during 2010-11 and 2011-12 in different areas of Bangladesh was studied to develop an environment friendly disease management practice. Pestalotia palmarum was isolated and identified from leaf having spot. Incidence and severity of grey leaf spot at seedling stage were determined and significant variations were observed depending on weather factors as well as locations. Occurrence of seedling disease was significantly influenced by temperature, rainfall and relative humidity. Comparative effectiveness of BAU-Biofungicide either alone or in combination with two fungicides viz. Bavistin or Dithane M-45 was evaluated on coconut seedling in the nursery. Among the treatments applied, Trichoderma harzianum based BAU-Biofungicide either alone or in combination with Bavistin (0.2%) as an excellent biocontrol means in controlling leaf spot disease of coconut.

Cercospora leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora citrullina Cooke is one of the most important diseases of bitter gourd. Effective fungicide against the causal pathogen has not been reported. This study was conducted at the Plant Pathology Laboratory of the Crop Protection Cluster, College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna to (a) determine the sensitivity of C. citrullina Cooke to different fungicides, and (b) determine the most effective fungicide against C. citrullina. Four fungicides, namely, benomyl (0.63 g a.i. L-1), chlorothalonil (1.41 g a.i. L-1), copper oxychloride (0.63 g a.i. L-1) and mancozeb (3 g a.i. L-1) were tested against the pathogen. Under laboratory condition, all conidia of C. citrullina did not germinate when treated with the test fungicides. Under screen house condition, the fungicides also effectively suppressed the development of the disease owing to low number and non-increasing of lesions in the leaves of bitter gourd. All test fungicides were very effective against leaf spot disease causing pathogen of bitter gourd.

Effect of various factors such as temperature, relative humidity, balanced fertilizer and plant spacing on the development of leaf  spot disease in mulberry caused by Cercospora moricola was studied. High disease development was recorded in the month of August and September when outdoor temperature and relative humidity were 25-30 ºC and above 80%, respectively. Application of balanced fertilizer and plant spacing on this disease development was also studied and showed a distinct effect on severity of this disease. A balanced dose application of NPK fertilizer decreased disease severity to 6-8%. Balanced fertilizer application in the soil resulted lower infection by leaf pathogen in comparison with imbalanced fertilizer application in the soil. Disease development was also found to be high at close plant spacing (60 × 60) cm than distance spacing (90 × 90) cm. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i1.11583 J. Environ.

The field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2012 and 2013 to find out the influence of weather parameters viz., temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, rainy days and wind velocity on the intensity of late leaf spot disease and defoliation in four groundnut cultivars viz., JL-24, LGN-1, TAG-24 and TG-26. The prevailing weather condition viz., average temperatures of 30.92 °C (max.) and 22.31 °C (min.), average RH of 89.67 % (morning) and 64.25 % (evening), well distributed average rainfall of 50.33 mm, average rainy days of 2.67 and average wind velocity of 4.24 km/hr were found to be conducive for the initiation, development and spread of late leaf spot disease in susceptible groundnut Cv. JL-24, TAG-24 and tolerant Cv. LGN-1, TG-26. As a result, overall average maximum disease intensity of 33.97 (21.96 to 46.37 %) per cent and 29.06 (18.62 to 39.01 %) per cent, were recorded in JL-24 and TAG-24, respectively. Groundnut Cv. JL-24 and TAG-24 (susceptible) exhibited comparatively maximum average defoliation in the range of 6.65 to 14.05 (Av. 10.29 %) and 5.64 to 11.82 per cent (Av. 8.80 %), respectively. The correlation coefficient between weather variables and disease intensity in both the years indicated that maximum temperature had negative and non significant effect in all the groundnut cultivars; whereas, minimum temperature had positive and significant effect on the disease intensity in all the groundnut cultivars. Relative humidity (morning and evening) played significant positive role on the disease intensity in all the groundnut cultivars.

Currently, tissue culture is one of the best techniques in propagating of kopyor coconut. The important stage in plant propagation through tissue culture is acclimatization. Upon entering the acclimatization stage, the problem that couldarise in kopyor coconut seedlings is leaf spot disease caused by the fungus Colletotrichumsp., Curvularia sp. and Pestalotiopsissp. Environmentally friendly leaf spot disease control techniques can be done through the use of chitosan, antagonistsmicrobesand endophytic bacteria. This study aimed to examine the use of chitosan, microbial antagonists, endophytic bacteria and their combinations to control leaf spot kopyor coconut disease in four different disease severity categories, namely severe/heavy, moderate, mild, and healthy.Disease development was observed every three weeks, while  the rate of disease infection, area under the disease development curve (AUDPC) and disease progression/delta were observed 15 weeks after treatment. The result showed that in heavy severity category, endophytic bacteria treatment was more effective to inhibit leaf spot disease showed byAUDPC value of 131.95 units thatsignificantly different compared to others. In the moderatecategory, combination treatment was more effective to suppress leaf spot disease, showed by the lowest infection rate by 0.03 unit per week, and percentage disease value   progression changeswas 12.10%, withno significantly different AUDPC value to  the other treatments. In mild and healthy severity category, therewereno significanly different  between the rate of infection and AUDPC in all treatments. While the percentage of change progression disease was significantly different between endophytic treatment and control. [Keywords: coconut kopyor seedling, leaf spot disease, antagonist microbes, endophyticbacteria, chitosan]Abstrak Saat ini, teknik kultur jaringanmerupakan salah satu teknik terbaik untukmemproduksi bibit kelapa kopyor.
