Harnessing Abiotic Defence Inducers for Effective Management of Pod Rot of Mungbean

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Pod rot is a significant issue for mung bean plants, causing substantial reductions in yield and quality. In this study, several defence inducers, including salicylic acid (SA), nicotinic acid (NA), indole butyric acid (IBA), chitosan, and benzothiadiazole (BTH), were applied as foliar sprays to assess their effectiveness in enhancing resistance to pod rot in field conditions. The results indicated that benzothiadiazole -treated plants experienced a marked reduction in disease severity of 18.667% compared to untreated plants (control) with 36.177%. This indicated that benzothiadiazole has antifungal properties, decreases disease severity, and stimulates defence mechanisms in Mung bean against pod rot.
