Experiment shows garlic extract reduces anthracnose disease in green gram, suggesting natural alternatives to chemicals.
A pot culture experiment was conducted in protected structure (shade house) on green gram susceptible variety ‘MH-421’ against anthracnose disease during Kharif season of 2023 at Hi-Tech Nursery, S.K. Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. Among 11 plant extracts evaluated, the garlic extract at 15 per cent recorded minimum disease incidence and maximum inhibition of 83.33 per cent. However, considering the various drawbacks and hazardous effects of chemicals, plant extracts at minimum dose can be recommended for the management of anthracnose disease.
