Abstract:

Field experiment was conducted to assess the integration of oil cakes on severity of basal rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and leaf spot and blight (Alternaria alternata) diseases, and yield of onion. Incidence of basal rot of onion bulb 100% control with significant increases in yield in treatments where soil amendment with mustard oil cake (2 tons / ha.) 15 days prior of seed sowing together with soil drenching with 10% mustard cake extract twice after fruit setting to maturity (T2, T4 and T6). The lowest Percent Disease Index (6 _ 8) of Alternaria spot and blight was recorded in treatments where foliar spray of 10% neem cake extract on 30 and 60 days of transplanting was carried out (T4 and T5).
