Practice Name:
Snuffing out Mildew from Mango
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Category | Crop pest and disease management |
| Crop | Mango |
| Crop Family | Anacardiaceae |
| Scientific Name | (Mangifera indica) |
| Vernacular Name | Mango Tree |
| Scout | HBN |
| Ingredients | Sand, snuff and leaves of tobacco (Nicotina tabacum) |
| Details of Innovation | Rajnikant Kelabhai Patel of Gujarat uses the pungent tobacco (Nicotina tabacum) leaves as well as snuff made from its leaves and sand to control powdery mildew pest on the mango crop. He takes one kilogram of tobacco (Nicotina tabacum) leaves and snuff and adds these to five kilogram of moist sand. If the sand is dry then it should be moistened. He sprays the herbal granules on the mango (Mangifera indica) crop as soon as flowering takes place. The tobacco spraying must be done before the mango crop is affected by powdery mildew (chara). The same procedure can be applied for protecting fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) crops that are also affected by powdery mildew. |
