Description 239-244
Potato is susceptible to diseases like early blight and black scurf caused by Alternaria solani (Ellis and Martin) and
Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, respectively which are known to reduce the quality, yield and price of the tubers. Since ancient
times in India, cultivation of plants using fermented liquid organic fertilizers and amendments had been practiced which are
well documented in various scriptures and books. One such formulation is the kunapajala mentioned in Vrikshayurveda
which was prepared by fermenting animal remains. It was used not only to stimulate plant growth but also protect them from
pests and diseases. The potato cultivar Kufri Bahar was used against early blight and black scurf disease under field
conditions during the rabi season of 2020-21 at VRC, Pantnagar. The results revealed that 10 per cent solution of KJ2
(50% nettle grass + 50% seasonal local weed based KJ) at 2000 L/ha dose and KJ3 (seasonal weed based KJ) at 1000 L/ha
were found effective against black scurf and early blight disease of potato, respectively showing 12.37 and 35.79%
reduction disease severity over control, respectively. It was also found that kunapajala treated tubers were statistically at par
in terms of germination per cent and tuber yield with the control treatment in which recommended dose of fertiliser was
applied suggesting that kunapajala treatment as mentioned above effectively provided the nutrients required by the growing
tubers.
