Management of powdery mildew of mango with bio-control agents under Konkan condition

Abstract:

The field experiment was conducted in 2023-24 to 2024-25 for two consecutive years to study the effects of biocontrol agents under konkan condition. In the present study, six biocontrol agents (BCAs) viz., Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Lecanicillum lecanii, Ampelomyces quisqualis, Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma strain in spore formulation were evaluated for their bio-efficacy against powdery mildew of mango under field conditions at Regional Fruit Research Station,Vengurla. All the biocontrol agents tested were non-significantly effective against powdery mildew of mango under field in konkan condition at 1.0% concentration.
