Most of the farmers especially from the tribal areas are not aware about several aspects of the diseases and their control methods. An awareness programme was conducted in Taloda Taluka during 2009–2010. It has been found that awareness about modern agricultural methods is very poor.
Under laboratory conditions, Trichoderma viride was found to be tolerant up to 75% leaf extract of Datura metel, where as Alternaria solani was susceptible to a dose of less than 70%. Exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of leaf extract had no effect on the in vitro antagonistic ability of T. viride. While combination of T. viride and reduced dose of leaf extract (65%) completely controlled disease incidence in Tomato seedlings as compared to control.
