Abstract

Mulberry is the host of the pathogens of different parasitic diseases. In West Bengal three fungal foliar diseases, viz., Powdery mildew, Leaf spot and Leaf rust, one fungal Root Rot, one bacterial Leaf blight and one nematode infected Root knot (in some restricted places of West Bengal) are common. They may cross economic threshold level every year and cause total 25-30% crop loss on an average.
