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

- Hybrids have great potential to increase oilseed production by exploiting hybrid vigor, as seen with castor and sunflower hybrids. However, only a limited number of hybrids exist for other crops like mustard and safflower.
- India's average oilseed yield is about half the world average, and deviations from the national average are more often negative than positive. This huge yield gap and increasing demand mean India must import about 40% of its edible oil needs.
- Both public and private sectors need to step up hybrid development efforts by introducing diverse germplasm, developing stable male sterility systems, and collaborating in areas like disease resistance breeding. Sharing of materials between sectors could accelerate this process.
Where economy of a country is based on agriculture, it should demonstrate more maturity in promoting ethics, essential from the health point view, both physical and economical.
