Efficacy of different fungicides against Ascochyta pisi causing Ascochyta blight of pea under laboratory conditions
Keywords:
moderate, polycyclic, blight, crops, pathogenAbstract
Pea occupies an important position amongst the vegetable crops of India and is one of the few crops that can be successfully grown during the winter season in In- dia. However, Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta pisi Lib. is responsible for substantial yield losses in pea to the tune of 30-75 per cent under favourable conditions for dis- ease development (Roger and Tivoli, 1996). The disease is polycyclic and can develop rapidly during periods of wet weather and moderate temperatures.Downloads
