Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in farmer’s fields of Kakol, Ranebennur and Medleri villages of Haveri district during 2017 and 2018 in ten farmers field to evaluate four different modules (Package of Practice module, Biological module, Chemical module and Adoptive module) for control of wilt complex disease in beetle vine. Extremely lower incidence of wilt disease (15.55 %) was recorded in adoptive module. Higher leaves production per plant was recorded in Medleri (5000 to 8000) as compared to Kakol (3000 to 6000) and Ranebennur (3000 to 7000) villages. The leaf yield and pendi (bundle) per hectare were also higher in adoptive module (49.29 lakh leaves and 485 pendi, respectively) followed by other modules. All the parameters (disease incidence, yield, cost of cultivation, returns and BC ratio) were found to be higher and significantly superior with adoptive module where, four applications were taken up to the root zone of vines. The BC ratio was higher with adoptive module (9.45) followed by POP module (9.43) but significantly superior over chemical (9.00) and biological modules (7.10).
