Leaf blight of taro or colocasia (colocasia esculenta) caused by Phytophthora colocasiae is an important yield restricting factor. As a component of integrated disease management strategy, effects of different spacing levels on disease incidence and leaf area damaged were studied . The closer spacing (40cm X20 cm, 30cm X 30 cm,40cm X 30 cm) enhanced the spread of the disease and total leaf area damaged was higher compared to eider spacing. However, the yield loss due to disease was compensated by yield from more number of plants per unit area in closely planted plots. The effects of wider and closer spacing on taro leaf blight disease incidence and total leaf area damaged due to blight are discussed. Not Available |
