The field experiments was conducted in the Plant Pathology field, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur Chhattisgarh in the year 2014-2015 to study the effect of soil amendments on white blister (Albugo bliti) development of Amaranthus bicolor. In all, 11 different organic amendments i.e., dried green leaves of Lantana (Lantana camara), Ipomoea (Ipomoea purpurea), Karanj (Pongamia pinnata), Xanthium (Xanthium strumarium), Oil cakes like Mustard cake, Neem cake, Karanj cake and manures like Vermicompost, FYM, Vermicompost + Trichoderma, FYM + Trichoderma were incorporated in soil 15 days prior to sowing. Disease severity was recorded twice on 20 randomly selected plants - first 15 days after sowing and second before harvest (30 days after sowing). All the experiments were repeated thrice on same plots in same season. Disease severity in three dates of sowing was ranging from 8.05 to 12.80% and first date significantly lower than that of second and third date of sowing. Overall, it seems that either Neem cake or FYM or FYM + Trichoderma may be amended in soil as per availability to reduce the white blister diseases severity in Amaranthus bicolor.
