Plant disease management through cultural practicesDr. Rajbir Singh
Cultural practices are important for managing plant diseases by destroying infection centers, breaking infection chains, starving pathogens, and creating unfavorable conditions. Some key cultural practices include:
1) Crop rotation, which involves planting non-host crops to allow soil-borne pathogens to die off when lacking a host. Rotating crops every 5+ years is effective for pathogens like Pseudomonas solanacearum and root knot nematodes.
2) Sanitation practices like destroying crop residues harboring pathogens, rouging out infected hosts and weeds, and eliminating overwintering hosts and weeds to reduce inoculum levels.
3) Eliminating alternate hosts that can harbor pathogens, like removing barberry which hosts
This document describes the Bakanae disease, which affects rice seedlings in nurseries and young plants in fields. It is caused by the fungi Fusarium moniliforme and Gibberella fujikuroi. Symptoms include pale, wilted seedlings that are taller than healthy ones and may die after transplanting. In fields, infected plants appear tall and flower early, and some show fungal growth at the collar or stunted growth. The fungi live in seeds and soil and infect plants primarily through these routes. They grow best at temperatures between 30-35°C and in moist conditions. Control methods include using disease-free seed, dry seed storage, fungicide seed treatment, resistant varieties, and managing
Host plant resistance refers to the inherent ability of a plant to resist insect damage. There are three main types of resistance: antixenosis, antibiosis, and tolerance. Antixenosis makes the plant an unattractive host for feeding or oviposition. Antibiosis causes adverse effects on the insect such as reduced growth or increased mortality. Tolerance allows the plant to withstand or recover from insect damage through mechanisms like increased tillering. Resistance can be controlled by single genes or polygenes and can be specific to certain insect biotypes or provide more durable, general resistance.
Herbicide residues can persist in soil and injure crops planted in subsequent seasons. The rate of herbicide breakdown depends on factors like the chemical properties of the herbicide, soil microbes, moisture, temperature, and tillage practices. Farmers can minimize carryover risks by selecting herbicides with short half-lives, applying the minimum effective rate, timing applications early in the season, and using crop rotations and soil additives. Determining residual herbicide levels involves field bioassays, chemical analysis of soil samples, or commercial plant bioassays.
The document discusses different types of adjuvants including surfactants, crop oil concentrates, ammonium fertilizers, and utility adjuvants.

Industrial agriculture focuses on maximizing profits at the expense of health and the environment. It contributes to problems like global warming, water and air pollution through extensive use of pesticides, fertilizers, and mono-cropping practices. These practices have negative impacts such as releasing greenhouse gases and toxic chemicals into the environment, polluting water sources, destroying biodiversity, and creating "dead zones" in oceans. Organic farming is a more sustainable alternative that prohibits synthetic chemicals and ensures soil quality and animal welfare.
