Important findings

It was observed that two sprays schedule of Bavistin at 1000 ppm concentration gave the maximum reduction of 80% in the incidence of powdery mildew as compared to control. Further, Topsin with single spray gave the minimum reduction with just 83% only as compared to control. The analysis of data also revealed that Bavistin at 1000 ppm (2 sprays) is significantly effective than rest of the treatments applied.
