Cumin wilt management - a review

摘要: Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is one of the oldest seed spice and an important production constraint wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cumini Prasad Patel (Foc) crop losses could be up to 60%. Maximum population Foc was estimated at 0-5 cm soil depth in presence crop, but density tended decline progressively with distance from surface. Resting structures Foc, chlamydospores, survive for more than 10 years. The inoculum increases each year cumin cultivation directly proportional disease incidence field. In this review, effort has been made compile research findings generated during past four decades on symptomatology, ecology management strategies. absence resistant sources against reduce pathogen below economic threshold level, integration cultural, chemical biological control measures only effective way manage diesease.
