DISEASE PREVALENCE AND CURRENT FUNGICIDE USAGE PATTERN IN CHILLY CROP IN TELANGANA AND ANDHRA PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
The study was carried out for the current fungicide usage pattern in Chilly crop in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. For the study leading districts in Chilly production were identified, Guntur and Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh and Khammam, Warangal and Mahaboobnagar in Telangana. Area wise growing pattern of Chilly was studied which shows that 64% farmers grows Chilly through nursery and 61% farmers use hybrids for Chilly production. Most of Farmers (60%) who grow hybrid Chilly use herbicides and farmers who grow local varieties do not use hybrid because it was found that use of hybrids reduces plant growth in case of local varieties. In study area wise disease severity was seen and it was found that due to varied climatic conditions and difference in sowing time disease severity varies. Cercospora leaf spots and Anthracnose/die back is having high severity in almost all chilly growing areas. Area wise farmers’ expenditure and number of sprays per acre per season also varies. In Guntur, Adoni (Kurnool) farmers are spending Rs. 12,000/- to Rs. 15, 000/- on fungicides and they are doing 15-20 sprays per acre per season. In areas like Mahabubabad (Warangal), Mahabubnagar, Ranga Reddy and Macherla (Guntur) farmers do less expenditure (Rs. 8, 000-Rs. 10,000) on fungicides and number of sprays is also 10-12 in these areas. With the help of this study we could be able to suggest farmers about controlling severe disease as it occurs in their area and methodology required to use proper fungicides to control these diseases.
