Abstract:

Alternaria leaf spots of wheat, caused by Alternaria triticina, has attained importance in north-eastern and north-western plain zone of Asia during recent years due to significant losses. The Survey was conducted in the district Prayagraj to find out the occurrence and distribution of the foliar blight disease of wheat. Efficacy of different bio-resource amendments was evaluated on disease incidence, plant growth and yield parameters of wheat under field condition at maximum plant height (cm) at 90 DAS (88.8), maximum numbers of grains per spike (60), maximum test weight (43.56), maximum dry weight (22.1) and maximum grain yield (35.83) was recorded in T7 the combination of Microalgae + Phosphate Rich Organic Manure. Minimum disease intensity (%) at 50 DAS (7.13), 70 DAS (9.84) and 90 DAS (10.94) was recorded with the application of combination of Microalgae + Phosphate Rich Organic Manure followed by Microalgae + Mycorrhiza showing significant results compared with other treatments including control (N.P. K).
