Ashwagandha belongs to the family Solanaceae is an important medicinal plant that is used in the Indian traditional system of medicine ayurveda and unani. An experiment was conducted at the Department of Plant Pathology, SHUATS, Prayagraj and U.P. during 2018-2019 to observe Agro waste amendments in the management of soil borne diseases i.e. Alternaria alternata and Meloidogyne incognita of Ashwagandha. Total seven treatments (viz. Neem leaf, Leaf mold, Vegetable waste, Marigold waste, Fruits waste were taken @ 500 gm were incorporated in 10 kg of soil in the pot and Carbendazim1 kg a.i /ha were used as control. Goat manure @ 250 gm and 2 gm mycelium mat of Alternaria alternata per each pot were applied before incorporation of agro waste in the pots, each treatment were replicated five times. Leaf spot disease intensity caused by Alternaria alternata at 30, 60, 90 DAT under pot condition were recorded. Among the treatments at 30 d.a.i. the percentage disease intensity of A.alternata was significantly reduced in T1-Neem (2.06), T2-Leaf mold(3.53), T4-Marigold waste (3.40),T6-carbendazim(1.67)as compared with T3-Vegetable waste (4.94), T5- Fruit waste (4.97) and control (11.71). Where as (T6,T1, T4, T2) and (T2,T3,T4, T5)are not significantly differ from each other. At 60 d.a.i. percentage disease intensity of A.alternata was significantly reduced in Neem (5.82) and carbendazim (5.7) as compared to other treatments including control. However, Neem and carbendazim are not significant from one another. At 90 d.a.i. percentage disease intensity of A.alternata was significantly reduced in Neem (30.21) and carbendazim (26.56) as compared with T2,T3,T4,T5and T0. Among the treatments (T1, T6), (T1, T4) and (T4,T2,T3,T5) are not significant from each other. The root gall population of Meloidogyne incognita was significantly reduced in Marigold (12.20), Neem (15.0) as compared with other treatments including control. Among the treatments (T6, T3, T2) are not significant from each other but they are significantly reduced the total no. of galls from T5 and control nematode alone.
