Evaluation of demonstrations against tanapitika(stem gall) disease of corriander in Rajgarh district of Malwa region

Coriander (Corindrum sativum L.) is an important horticultural spice crop of Madhya Pradesh. Productivity of coriander is quite low due to unawareness of advance technology of disease management. To resolve this problem, demonstrations were carried out at selected farmer's field in Rajgarh district with seed treatment and foliage spray of fungicide during 2011–12 and 2012–13. The results revealed that seed treatment with carbandazim and foliar spray of mancozabe was efficient to minimize the incidence of stem gall which was significantly good than local farmer's practices.
