Soil application of boron (2.5 p.p.m.) was effective in controlling primary incidence of downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola) in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum). Application resulted in 76.4% lower primary incidence at 35 days after sowing compared with the control. Application of Zn (5 p.p.m.) and Fe (5 p.p.m.) was also effective. When N+P+K (10 p.p.m. each) were applied together, a reduction of 23.8% in disease incidence over the control was observed.
