| Abstract: |
Managing plant diseases without using chemical pesticides has been a challenge to the growers to keep their production in acceptable level. There are several non-chemical tools for eco-friendly management of diseases, such as use of resistant varieties, biocontrol agents (eg, Trichoderma spp.), cultural practices (eg, crop rotation), organic amendments in soil (eg, mustard cake, biogas slurry), botanicals (eg, garlic clove extract, mugwort extract, nettle extract) and certain non-hazardous chemicals (eg, elemental sulphur, copper, potassium). Of them, using resistant varieties is the most effective approach. Grafting technology using resistant root stocks has been successful for managing some soil-borne diseases (eg, wild eggplant against root-knot nematodes and bacterial wilt in solanaceous vegetables). Some of the technologies, especially the biocontrol agents and the botanicals have shown success under controlled conditions. Most of such technologies are limited to controlled conditions and hence should be verified in the field conditions. Non-chemical tools generally do not give 100% control but those can be effectively used as the components of integrated disease management for their additive efficacy. Available non-chemical tools from research results and the literatures for the management of diseases of different crops are presented. |
