 ABSTRACT

Potato is the major root vegetable belongs to the solanaceae family. Among fungal diseases early blight is the most devastating foliar disease caused by Alternaria solani. An experiment was conducted in SHUATS, Prayagraj during Rabi 2019-20 under field conditions for the management of early blight of potato using different bio resources such as vermicompost (VC), spent mushroom compost (SMC), neem cake (NC) and microalgae. The pathogen Alternaria solani was identified by standard isolation technique in in-vitro. The maximum reduction of disease was recorded with the combination of treatment T5 VC+SMC+NC 40.38%. Similarly, the minimum reduction of disease was observed with T4 Neem Cake 45.00% alone compared to control. Therefore, it is suggested that use of bio resources may reduce the disease incidence.

Keywords: Bio resources, Vermicompost, Microalgae, Alternaria, Early blight, Potato.
