  Physic nut (Jatropha curcas) has become popular due to its potential for biodiesel production. Intensified cultivation of J. curcas has raised the importance of plant disease management. Collar rot disease has been reported in J. curcas as a major cause of severe plant damage. In the present study, we report the management of coller rot diseaseusing fungicides and plant extracts. Two fungicides were tested in vitro for antifungal activity using well diffusion method. Carbemedozo and Macrinite (CM-75) was found to be most effective at 0.1% to inhibit mycelial growth and it developed largest inhibition zone of 50 mm and 0.1% Bavistin (BV) developed inhibition zone of 47 mm. The complete inhibition of the fungal growth was achieved at 0.1% CM-75 and 0.2% BV. Under in vivo studies, 59% of the stem cuttings could be revived by the application of.. View More»
