摘要:Yellow vein mosaic disease on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) under natural condition was suppressedby partially clarified aqueous root extract of Boerhaavia diffusa. Treatments were administered as foliar sprays atconcentration of 4% at 7 days interval, commencing from the time when plants were at seedling stage. Regular spraysof root extract of Boerhaavia diffusa were highly effective in reducing okra yellow vein mosaic disease. Comparativedata recorded with respect to infection, growth, flowering, fruiting, and yield revealed that extract from the roots ofBoerhaavia diffusa reduced infection by about 80%. Flowering and consequent fruiting was observed in all treatedbeds, which showed high yield. Fruits were more in number, soft and green as compared to yellow and fibrous fruits incontrol beds.KEYWORDS:
