Plant diseases lead to leaf distortion, leaf wilting, stunted growth and decreased productivity of plants.

1. Management of viral diseases
in plants

2. 
Plant diseases lead to leaf distortion, leaf wilting, stunted
growth and decreased productivity of plants

Various viral, bacterial and Mycoplasma Like Organisms lead
to majority of plant diseases.

It leads to approximately 60%reduction in net productivity of
crops.

This is crucial in an agricultural based country like India

3. Viral infections : Resulting in low
agricultural yield in India

Most prominent plant diseases are caused by viruses.

Plant viral agents can cause extreme economic losses by
reducing seed quality and seed yield.

Yellow Mosaic Virus is one of the most destructive viral
disease among various viral disease. It causes major
reduction in pulse production in India.

4. Adverse effects of yellow mosaic virus

Yellow Mosaic Virus leads to yellowing of leaves , stunted
growth of plants and reduced flowering .

Reduction in no of pods/plant, seed/plant and seed weight
contribute to reduced yield .

An annual loss of 300 million USD is estimated on the basis of
rates of incidence of Yellow Mosaic Virus in mungbean,
urdbean and soybean (Varma et al, 2005)

It can lead to 100% yield loss if the infection occurs 3 weeks
after planting.

5. Key crops infected by viral diseases

Oilseeds and Pulses ( groundnut, tur and lentils)

Vegetables ( brinjal, lady's finger, chilli, bottle gourd and
bitter gourd)

Fruits (Papaya, banana and apple)

6. Current practices for disease control
•
Insects serve as vectors for disease transmission in all plants.
These transfer diseases from one plant to another.
•
Thus, chemicals like acetphate, cypermethrin and imidachloprid
have been used extensively to control the spread of diseases in
plants have met little success.

8. Organica Biotech's technology for
managing plant viral disease

Viruses induce undue stress in plants

Beneficial microbes in our formulations improve the health and
immunity of plants

These formulations enhance the metabolic pathways of
organisms, serve as entry barriers and prevent the growth of
unwanted pathogens

These are specifically crafted for soil application and foliar
spray application

9. What is Microbial Input?
A single species/strain or consortium of highly effective
microorganisms including fungi and bacteria
Bacteria Fungi

10. Single Microbial species
Rhizobium:
Forms root nodules,
fixes atmospheric nitrogen
PSB : Solubilizes phosphates
in soil making them available
for plant growth
Mycorrhiza : is a
symbiotic association
composed of a fungus
and roots of a vascular
plant

11. Success stories
BRINJAL (Gujarat, India)
Control Treated
Little leaf disease Arrest of spread of the disease
Plants susceptible to diseases Enhanced immunity to diseases
