Important findings

Foliar spray of botanical-I, botanical-II and biocontrol agents reduced disease severity and increased leaf yield. The treated leaves were qualitatively superior over untreated leaves. Suggested to use botanical-I to control bacterial leaf spot and Myrothecium leaf spot, botanical-II for powdery mildew and biocontrol agents for all.
