						 Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a solanaceous crop which have an importance as both food and cash crop for many 
  poor people and is considered as food security in developing countries. Important fungal diseases, which affect 
  potato crop are late blight, early blight, black scurf, dry rots, wart, powdery scab, charcoal rots etc., A detailed 
  experiment was conducted to study the efficacy of bioresources against late blight of potato (P. infestans). Among all 
  the treatments T3 (VC+SMC+NK) reduced disease incidence (%), disease intensity (%), CODEX (%) followed by T5 
  (SMC+VC), T2 (VC), T6 (MA), T4 (SMC), T1 (NK), T0 (Control). Similarly, among treatments T3 (VC+SMC+NK) 
  maximised yield (gm) & plant height (cm) followed by T5 (SMC+VC), T2 (VC), T6 (MA), T4 (SMC), T1 (NK) and 
  T0 (Control). .. View more»
