Abstract: Plant disease is defined as a malfunction or dysfunction of plant physiological normal activities with addition of behaviousristic or morphological changes of normal cell shape and size. Surveillance is an active or passive way of collecting, analyzing, interpreting information on disease occurrence in specified area which is further utilizable to control the effectiveness of the specified disease. Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojana (READY) is a real time based experiential learning programme with combination of field based practical training and business application in agriculture sciences. Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) every year organized READY programme under the curriculum of agriculture which helps in one direction to for in hand training of new agriculturist, on the other hand it transferred new modern scientific skills to the poor grass hood level farmers. This programme revealed with some remarkable data’s of some severe pest-disease infestation in a broader spectrum. Different biotic factors will considered to be the most influential factor among them. Major diseases and pests include rice blast, northern corn blight, black rot of cole crops, chilli leaf curl virus etc. The different types of pests observed are sucking pests, fruit borers, leaf rollers, leaf eating caterpillars etc. and their incidence level ranged between 25-60%. Crucial epidemiological factors like moderate temperature (30-35° C), high humidity (85-90%) and scattered rainfall (120-150 mm). The present investigation through real time surveillance and monitoring, we are trying to focus major biotic stresses, their behaviouristic nature and their conventional management strategy which applied for long time.
