Abstract

A field study on integrated management of foot rot in betel vine was undertaken to find out the response of bio agents and fungicides in management of foot rot disease in betel vine crop during 2016-17 and 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with eight treatments and replicated thrice. Experimental findings indicate that the pathogen isolated from root and petiole portions of the infected plant and identified as phytophthora from root and petiole portions. Further isolated another pathogen Rhizoctonia bataticola in betel vine field of chinavorumpadu village of YSR Kadapa dt. of Andhra Pradesh. All the treatments viz. application of Trichoderma harzianum@ 5kg/ha (Oct-Dec) along with FYM + Neemcake @500 kg/ha, spraying of Fosetyl AL @ 0.2% + Drenching of Potassium Phosphonate @ 0.3%, soil application of Bacillus subtilis @ 5kg/ha), soil application of Consortium (IIHR) @ 12.5kg/ha. in 1250kg FYM/ha, soil drenching with Bordeaux mixture (1%) and soil applicatio

IDM, Betel vine, foot rot, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia bataticola.

Conclusion

The present study concluded that application of biological formulation along with the application organic manures significantly reducing the foot rot disease in betel vine crop. However, the Soil application of Consortium (IISR) PGPR capsule @5 capsules/ha recommended for the effective foot rot control in Rayalaseema zone of Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, the use of biological control agents is recommended for the integrated management of Phytophthora foot rot of betel vine for sustainable leaf production as well as to avoid the possibility of health risks due to consumption of betel leaf polluted with the fungicides.
