Cabbage and cauliflower are important cole crops grown in India, accounting for about ten percent of the total vegetable production of the country (Anon, 2011). Black rot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris (Pammel) Dowson is one of the causes which limit the commercial production of the crops. The bacteria can attack the crops at both seedling and planting stages and the infection results from infected seeds. Due to the diseases, there is an extensive loss in the field and quality of curds and yield as well as vigour of the seed crop (Kashyap and Dhiman, 2009). Under severe attack of this disease, substantial reduction in the yield to the tune of 5 to 70% has been reported (Sharma and Ramchandra, 1991). Management of the disease is restricted to use of resistant cultivars, hot water treatment of seeds followed by application of antibiotics or protectant fungicides (Hilderbrand, 1994), but the control has been only partial. Keeping this at the backdrop an effort was directed to use seed treatment, root dipping, antibiotics and spray of bactericides and biocontrol agents in combination as well as in solo for the management of the menace, under field conditions. Field trials under the All India Co-ordinate Research Project on Vegetable Crops were conducted at the Research farm, Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi during Rabi seasons of 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11. The crop was sown in end November with a spacing of 20 cm× 15 cm. The plot size was 2.4 m × 2.4m. The varieties used were ‘Hajipur local’ of cabbage and cauliflower respectively. Not Available |
