“…The dry condition prevalent in the rain fed conditions might have favoured the pathogen which could be attributed for the higher level of disease incidence. It has been reported that dry rainfed conditions favored higher root rot disease in crops [20]. The disease incidence was more in sandy loam as compared to clay loam ( Table 2).…”

Root rot of groundnut caused by Macrophomina phaseolina causes significant losses in groundnut growing areas of Tamil Nadu. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the prevalence and incidence of dry root rot of groundnut in different district of Tamil Nadu, India during 2013-14, assess the cultural characters and pathogenic variability among the isolates of M. phaseolina and to test the antifungal activity of water extracts from mangrove plants against pathogen. The results revealed that the maximum root rot incidence was observed (30.33%) in Sivapuri village of (I 3 ) Cuddalore district. The disease incidence was more in, VRI2 variety and incidence was found to be more in sandy loam soils. Regarding the cultural characteristics revealed that the isolates I 2 and I 3 significantly recorded the maximum (90 mm) mycelial growth of M. phaseolina and the isolate I 3 was found to be more virulent when compared to other isolates tested. Water extracts of nine mangrove plant species were screened against the root rot pathogen, M. phaseolina. Of these, Salicornia brachiata (21.33 mm), Rhizophora apiculata (23.00 mm) and Suaeda maritima (26.33 mm) were found to be highly effective against the test pathogen.

“…Similar finding were also given by earlier workers. Maiti et al, (1985) stated sesamum phyllody is the most destructive disease in India. He also stated Leaf curl is also responsible for heavy losses when it infects at early growth stages of the crop.…”

“…Charcoal rot, Macromophomina phaseolina is a widespread and destructive disease and it is difficult to control. Mildew is not a serious disease (Maiti et al, 1985). Ransingh and Samal (2013) found low productivity of sesame in Odisha due to major fungal diseases like wilt caused by Macrophomina sp.…”

“…The sesame crop suffers from several diseases which account for an approximate yield loss of about 15-20%. Phyllody, leaf curl, leaf spots, rusts, root and stem rot are the serious diseases of sesame causing significant reduction in the yield [7]. Among several diseases, Alternaria leaf spot and Cercospora leaf spot are most severe in recent climate change scenario in the coastal ecosystem of South Bengal and are affecting the plants partially or completely resulting in low productivity of the crop.…”

Sesame is one of the most important oilseed crops in India due to mainly its high quality seed oil and antioxidant properties. Occurrence of foliar diseases, like Alternaria leaf spot and Cercospora leaf spot has become a major constraint in recent years for successful and profitable cultivation of sesame. Field experiments were conducted with sesame var. savitri in a factorial randomized block design with three different dates of sowing with 15 days interval and two different plant protection situations (Protected i.e., treated with disease control protocols and unprotected i.e., control), replicated four times, during two consecutive summer seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Agricultural Experimental Farm, Institute of Agricultural Science, University of Calcutta, Baruipur, South 24 Parganas. The diseases incidence was estimated and correlated with the weather parameters. The average of weather parameters viz., maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity (morning), relative humidity (evening) and rainfall prior to seven days of disease appearance were considered for study the correlation between the weather factors and the disease. In 2018, disease incidences of the plants shown at third date of sowing (26th April, 2018) in both the protected and unprotected plots had significant (P=.05) but negative correlation with maximum temperature. For plants sown at first date of sowing (27th March, 2018) in 2018 had disease incidences significantly (P=.05) and positively correlated with minimum temperature. However, in 2019, except for the relation between disease incidences in the unprotected plots and maximum temperature, all other disease-temperature correlations were non-significant. Disease incidences were positively and significantly correlated with relative humidity (both morning and evening) in all dates of sowing irrespective of experimental years, except with morning relative humidity at first date of sowing in first year. Total rainfall was positively and significantly correlated with disease incidences at all dates of sowing in 2018; however, such relation was non-significant in 2019.
