- Abstract
Rapeseed--mustard is one of the most important cruciferous oilseed crops basically raise for oils and vegetables to meet domestic consumption of marginal farmers during rabi season in Manipur. Field experiments were conducted under organic condition for two consecutive years (2014 & 2015) during rabi seasons at Kakching. Weekly surveys detected white rust of rapeseed--mustard on the four varieties used. Amendments of agronomic practices including sowing dates, intercropping and plant density besides addition of soil with FYM(Farmyard Manure) were found effective on fungal disease of the crop. The disease parameters were monitored through disease incidence(DI) and disease severity(DS) assessment technique. The least disease severity (9.57%) was found in plant density followed by date of sowing (11.06%) and intercropping (12.29%). White rust caused by Albugo candida attacked the crop from mild to severe form and the effect of agronomic practices applied were significant in controlling the white rust disease of the crop.
