Abstract
Bacterial blight is the most severe disease of the Pomegranate, caused by bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae. It is widely spread bacterial disease of plants from both epidemiological and economic points of view. The pathogen affects different plant parts like leaf, stem and fruit. Infection results in water soaked oily spot symptoms on leaves and fruits which consequently decreases fruit production and market value. Extensive agricultural practices along with large amount of pesticide as well as antibiotic are required to control this disease. Investigation was carried to study in vitro efficacy of different chemicals, botanicals and bioagent individually and in combination against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae by using disc diffusion method. Maximum zone of inhibition were recorded in chemical treatments. Copper oxychloride (0.3%) + Streptomycin sulphate (500 ppm) was found significantly superior in inhibiting the growth of bacteria with 14.33 mm zone of inhibition.
Key words: Pomegranate, bacterial blight, Xanthomonas axonopodis, efficacy, disc diffusion method.
