Author(s): Krishan Kant Dhakad, MS Bhale and SN Singh
Abstract: Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important Solanaceous crop widely grown in different parts of the country. Diseases were investigated at nursery stages, field and experimental field in the crop of two season basically during September-October 2016 and January-February 2017. Effect of seed treatment with bio pesticides and chemical fungicides indicate that higher emergence was recorded as compared to untreated seed. No infection of Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Phomopsis vexans was recorded is seed treated with Carboxin+ Thiram @ 0.2% and copper oxychloride @ 0.25%. Three application of Azoxystrobin (1g/L) recorded the minimum fruit rot incidence (5.4%) after 40 days as compared to untreated and unsprayed plants with 28% fruit infection. Efficacy of fungicides indicate that application of Tebuconazole @ 0.15% resulted in 5.9% fruit infection followed by 6.2% infection in plants with Propioconazole @ 0.1% and 6.5% fruit infection in Tricyclazole @ 0.1%. Application of fungicides also enhanced the fruit yield.
