Efficacy of Agro Clean as pesticide in cumin and coriander

Abstract

An experiment was conducted during two consecutive rabi seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20 to study the efficacy of
Agro Clean as pesticide in cumin and coriander. The product showed maximum effectiveness against cumin blight @
5ml litre and inhibited maximum mycelial growth (26.27%) when compared with control. In field conditions also the
product showed effectiveness against cumin blight disease and observed the minimum disease (PDI 13.2) at 5ml/litre.
In coriander in field conditions the product showed various degrees of effectiveness against coriander powdery
-1 -1
mildew disease and observed the minimum disease (PDI 6.9) at 5ml litre . In cumin Agro Clean @ 2ml litre
significantly reduced aphid, green aphid and thrips population and recorded of 3.84, 1.20 and 1.00 populations per
plant. Agro Clean @ 5 ml litre is promising to control cumin blight and coriander powdery mildew. Agro Clean @ 2 ml
litre could be used to manage aphid, green aphid and thrips in cumin. Agro Clean could be used as pesticide in order
to achieve safe and sustainable yield of cumin as well coriander.
