Root-knot nematodes (RKN), (Meloidogyne spp.), are the major biotic factor responsible for limiting production of Kiwifruit in Nepal including orchard Warm Temperate Horticulture Center, Nepal. Hence, there is a pressing demand nematicides that both easily accessible and cost-effective while being environmentally friendly. A screenhouse experiment was conducted Summer 2023 with an objective to evaluate effects different plant extracts, bio-control agents, chemical against RKN on seedlings....
Rhizoctonia solani and Alternaria citri are major plant pathogens of citrus, causing considerable production losses. Chemical fungicides widely used for disease control. Using the food poisoning technique under in vitro conditions, an experiment was undertaken to investigate efficacy several against those pathogens. To evaluate effect on mycelial growth, five different chemicals, viz. SAAF (Carbendazim 12% WP + Mancozeb 63% WP), Bavistin 50% VACOMIL PLUS (Metalaxyl 15% Copper oxychloride 35%...
