An IDM approach to improve ratoonability of sugarcane crop in KP province,Pakistan

An integrated disease management (idm) approach was applied for the control of fusarium oxysporum,fusarium moneliforme and xylaria hypoxilon that produce phytotoxic substances responsible for the deterioration of ratoon crop of sugarcane. all components of idm i.e.,aspergo pak,penecillium and trick pak together reduced the disease intensity (0.16%) that resulted the highest cane height (3.49 m),cane (81.25 tons ha-1) and sugar (9.95 tons ha-1) yield. the tricho pak alone has significantly controlled all three diseases responsible for ratoon crop failure in sugarcane.
