Abstract

Treatment of witch's broom affected tubers of Kufri Kuber with Benlate + Tetracycline yielded 71% healthy looking plants followed by Tetracycline, BP 101 + Urea and BP 101 (54–66% healthy looking plants). Complete elimination of the pathogen has not been achieved through any of the treatments tried.
