Effectiveness of botanicals, inorganic salts and fungicide against Fusarium wilt of muskmelon under hot arid region of Rajasthan

Influenza is a considerable public health hazard that affects people worldwide. Effective diagnosis and timely treatment are critical for the influenza virus. The current review primarily focuses on isolating a novel, cost-effective anti-influenza viral. Several natural bioactive compounds have precious therapeutic potential. We have shortlisted twenty-one medicinal plants with potent antiviral properties effective at different stages of replication of the influenza virus. Certain extracts of these medicinal plants are gaining popularity compared to synthetic drugs due to their safety and broad-spectrum action. Our meta-analysis focuses on various characteristics of the medicinal plant extracts that help prevent and spread the influenza virus in the early stages. Oseltamivir, zanamivir, amantadine, and rimantadine are used to inhibit the activity of neuraminidase and matrix-2 proteins. However, they have side effects. Their inappropriate doses may cause mutation and confer resistance to the antivirals. According to the circulating strain, the influenza vaccine needs to be updated every year. As a result, chemically synthetic drugs and the current vaccination are not long-term solutions. Thus, we focus on plant metabolites, which are less harmful, permanent cures, and cost-effective than synthetic drugs.

The wheat diseases, including yellow rust, brown rust, powdery mildew and karnal bunt, continue to be the major impediments to the successful cultivation of wheat crops in the sub-mountainous region of Ropar (Punjab). During the survey, it was observed that the yellow rust disease is a pre-dominant disease of wheat in this region and has always appeared first foci of infection in Ropar district for the last several years in Punjab. The disease caused maximum infection on cultivar Barbat, HD 2967, Shriram 212 followed by WH 1105, HD 3086, PBW 677, HD 3226 and low infection on Unnat PBW 343 and PBW 1 Zn, DBW 222 and PBW 766. However, no infection was recorded in PBW 725, Unnat PBW 550 and PBW 752. The brown rust disease was absent from most of the fields. Although, occasionally found in few low-level fields (5-10S among infested fields). The head blight disease was primarily recorded in durum wheat in wet areas and the maximum incidence (16.45%) was found in the Barbet cultivar in season 2021-22. The karnal bunt disease frequently appeared in this region depending upon the weather condition at the booting stage of the crop and recorded the prevalence range of 0.1-0.40 per cent in surveyed fields. The survey reports will help to prioritize disease management in extension programmes in this region.

Field experiments were conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Kota to develop a fungicide spray schedule for the management of early blight (Alternaria alternata), the most significant foliar disease of potato during the year 2018-19 and 2019-20. The protective and curative activity of fungicides were assessed in field studies. All spray schedules inhibited disease progress and enhanced total tuber yields compared with unsprayed plots. Most minor disease severity (11.40%) with the highest disease control (74.32%) was recorded in the treatment (T3), where the first spray of mancozeb 75WP (0.25%) was followed by a second spray of difenoconazole 25% EC (0.05%) and a third spray of mancozeb 75WP (0.25%) at 10 days interval was applied. The second-best treatment was T2, where the first spray of mancozeb 75WP (0.25%) was followed by a second spray of hexaconazole 5EC (0.05%) and a third spray of mancozeb 75WP (0.25%) at 10 days interval (17.10% & 61.48) was applied. The higher tuber yield was achieved in the treatment T3 with the highest benefit-cost ratio (2.18). Thus, a spray schedule consisting of preventive and curative fungicides may be recommended to effectively manage early blight and higher tuber yield in south eastern Rajasthan.
