National Symposium on Strategic Issues in Plant Pathological Research held at Department of Plant Pathology, CSK HP Krishi Vishvavidayalaya, Palampur on November 24–25, 2011
Wheat is the most important rabi crop of hilly region of India. The Himalayan and Sub-Himalayan regions serve as the source of yellow rust inoculum for adjoining wheat bowl of the country and to check the spread of yellow rust, management of stripe rust is prime focused target in hilly region of Himachal Pradesh. The present study was planned to evaluate fungicides for the management of yellow, so that an alternative chemical management strategy can be devised to the farmer. Field trial on the management of yellow rust conducted during rabi 2009–10 and 2010–11 by using susceptible variety Sonalika and foliar sprays of five fungicides, viz. Propiconazol (Tilt 25EC @ 0.1%), Tebuconazol (Folicur 250EC @ 0.1%), Triadimfon (Bayleton 25 WP @ 0.1%), Carbendazim (Bavistin 50 WP @ 0.1%) and Mancozeb (Indofil M-45 75 WP @ 0.25%) with onset of the disease at 15 days interval.. The two years field trials revealted that two sprays of Tilt (0.1%) at 15 days interval gave maximum disease control of 91.6% along with higher grain yield. In addition, other treatments found effective in managing yellow rust of wheat were single sprays of Tilt, Bayleton and Folicur.
