Abstract/Description: | Effect of borax on sporangial as well as leaf blight severity caused by Phytophthora colocasiae and corm/cormel yield of taro were studied. Under in vitro conditions, borax (200 ppm) treatment totally inhibited both direct (sporangial germination) and indirect (zoospore germinatin) germination. Leaf blight of taro was completely controlled by spraying 500ppm of borax under polyhouse conditions. In a field experiment involving 10 taro genotypes, foliar spraying of borax (500ppm) singnificantly reduced the leaf area damage per plant by leaf blight disease and the treated plants produced greater corm/cormel yield than untreated plants. The highest corm/cormal yield (0.986kg plant-1) was recorded in “Muktakeshi“ followed by “Kalasaru” under field conditions. |
