diseases of pulse crops in India in 1966. PLANT DISEASE REPORTER,
v.52(4):300-304. (REP.MB-0517)
Several diseases caused considerable reduction in yield of pulse crops in
India during the 1966 season. Cicer arietinum was severely damaged by the
combined effects of wilt and drought in northern India. Sterility mosaic of
Cajanus cajan was prevalent in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Yellow mosaic of mungbean
caused severe damage to Vigna radiata and V. mungo in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
Dolichos lablab and D. biflorus in central and southern India were damaged by
yellow mosaic diseases. Rust and powdery mildew decreased yield of Pisum
sativum in Uttar Pradesh. A new leaf crinkle symptom (probably caused by an
unidentified virus), was seen on V. mungo ani V. radiata at New Delhi and at
Kanpur and Pantnagar in UtLar Pradesh. A new yellow symptom (probably of virus
origin), and a new wilt (caused by a fungus), were seen on Cajanus cajan at New
Delhi. [AS]

All 36 varieties of blackgran were planted in June, July, August and
September during 1968 and 1969 to evaluate their performance against the yellow
chlorosis and distortion mosaic virus diseases and yield. The maximum incidence
of yellow chlorosis and distortion mosaic on the same varieties was in the
June-sown crop. There was a decrease of incidence in July, August and September
plantings. None of them was free from the diseases. Optimum time of sowing for
the best grain yield was not the same for all varieties. [THH]

Seeds of cowpea and mungbean treated with different fungicides were sown in
August and September, 1969. A week after sowing, about 10% of plants developed
various types of disease symptoms. Cowpea showed three distinct types of
viruses and mungbean showed yellow mosaic and phyllody symptoms. [THH]
