Abstract
Red rot disease caused by Colletotrichum falcatum is major concern and it causes the loss of 10 to 25% to the sugarcane yield. Effective control of red rot has been mainly through resistant varieties, although several fungicides and bio agents have been found effective under in vitro but failed to facilitate effective control of the disease in the field condition. Therefore, to see the effect and economics of different treatments were tested in field condition on the different sugarcane parameters at Pusa Farm, SRI, RPCAU, Pusa. It was observed that the treatment not only reduces the red rot disease incidence but also enhance the quantitative as well as qualitative parameters of cane. Among the treatments, the maximum enhancement in all the parameters and also higher returns of Rs. 147818/hectare was observed when the setts were treated with Carbendazim 50 WP @ 0.1% for 15 minutes.
