Abstract

Mango is an important fruit crop. This crop is suffering many diseases among them, mango malformation is economic important disease. Hence, present research work on “Symptomatology, Characterizations of Fusarium sp. causing mango malformation and its management” was carried out at Department of Plant Pathology, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during the year 2021-2023. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) infested by many diseases, pests and physiological disorders. Among all diseases, mango malformation is a serious threat to this fruit crop in the growing countries. Five different bioagents viz., Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum, T. virens, P. fluorescens and B. subtilis and T6- control were evaluation in vitro against F. moniliforme for growth inhibition of F. moniliforme by dual culture technique. Among them, the highest per cent growth inhibition was recorded T. viride (79.92%) followed by T. harzianum (78.51%) and T. virens (69.44%). The minimum growth inhibition was recorded in B. subtilis (48.30%)

Keywords

Mango malformation, Fusarium sp., Bioagents, Trichoderma, Pseudomonas, Bacillus

Conclusion

From this study, concluded that the fungal bioagent Trichoderma isolates were proved most effective than bacterial bioagent. Among them, the highest growth inhibition was recorded T. viride. The least growth inhibition was recorded in B. subtilis was proved less effective as compare to fungal bioagents over control
