Control of Mushrooms in Acidlime<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
During rainy season ( Sep – Nov ) there is usually a growth of mushrooms in the collar region of the trees of acid lime. If these mushrooms are not controlled it will lead to death of trees. Farmers in this area usually apply Bordeaux mixture for control of mushrooms. Bordeaux mixture needs four to five days to suppress the growth of mushrooms. Anthonisamy has found an alternative method of control by using locally available materials.Two kgs of Aloe vera and one kg Garlic are crushed and ground well by adding little water to make it as a paste. This has to be smeared over the affected collar region of trees. This practice ensures control of mushrooms within 3 hours. He also uses this mixture for control of earhead bugs in paddy or sorghum. For this, he mixes one kg each of Moottanarielai ( Coleus aromaticus ) and tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) in 100 liters of water and adds it to the existing mixture. This ensures protection of grains from earhead bug attack better than synthetic pyrethroids recommended by agricultural department. ReferencesA00780 Moktader, I.A, Guha-Sircar, S.S.
