Abstract

A field trail was conducted in a farmer field at Madhugiri dist. Karnataka state to study the in vivo Efficacy of some Antibiotics Against Bacterial Blight of Pomegranate caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae. Five treatments consisting of antibiotics viz., Streptocycline (500ppm) +COC (0.3%), K-cycline (500ppm) + COC (0.3%), Ampiclox (500ppm) + COC (0.3%), Streptocycline (300ppm) + Ampiclox (500ppm) and Control were sprayed on five plants which form a replication. Among the different antibiotics tested a combination of Streptocycline (300ppm) + Ampiclox (500ppm) was proved to be more effective in reducing the disease incidence and severity with low percentage of leaves infected (3.70), less no of lesions per leaf (0.47), per cent leaf area affected (1.90), number of twigs infected (0.50) and low per cent fruit infection (0.70) followed by Streptocycline (500ppm) +COC (0.3%).
