Role of meteorological factors and relative impact of rust disease management in field peas through fungicides and botanicals in Tarai region of Indo-gangetic plains

In present study, we followed the two strategies for efficient disease management practice to control rust of field peas in the Tarai region of Indo-Gangetic plains of India. This primarily included the assessment of the meteorological factors affecting the disease severity (DS) to assist in designing the superior disease models and simultaneously evaluated the relative impact of effective botanicals with comparison to frequently used extremely harmful fungicides on pea rust severity.
