Abstract

Field experiments were conducted during Rabi 2010-11 to 2012-13 to manage the prevailing fungal
diseases of Indian mustard through integrated approach. Removal of three lower leaves followed
by foliar spray of metalaxyl 8% + mancozeb 64% WP @ 2 g l–1 of water was found best in controlling
the white rust (12.2%). Lowest Alternaria blight (6.1%) was recorded with seed treatment followed
by one foliar spray of propiconazole 25 EC @ 1 ml kg–1 seed and 1 ml l–1 of water, respectively.
Significant (P<0.05) reduction in stem rot incidence (0.6%), maximum average production (2988
kg ha–1), maximum net profit as well as the incremental cost-benefit ratio (ICBR) was observed
with seed treatment of carbendazim 50 WP @ 2 g kg–1 seed followed by two foliar spray of
carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP at 2 g l–1 of water.
