In fruit crops, shoot gall psylla, a serious pest of mango could be effectively managed with three sprays of quinalphos (0.05%) starting from 1 st week of August followed by 3 applications of 2, 4-D (80 ppm) at 10 days interval beginning gall appearance stage. Guava wilt was verified to be caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii and association of spiral nematode Heliotylencus dihystera aggravated the disease. Use of biopesticides gave encouraging results. Application of A.niger (Kalisena) was found to reduce the incidence of guava wilt and improve the plant vigour

In vegetable crops, powdery mildew in pea caused by Erysiphe pisi could be managed by preponement of sowing date in September and October. The disease could be controlled by spraying calexin (0.05%). Powdery mildew of cucumber caused by Erysiphe chichoracearum could be controlled by spraying karathane 0.1% and powdery mildew of bottle gourd caused by Sphaerotheca fuligena could be controlled by spraying Topsin M-70 (0.1%). Bacterial wilt of tomato caused by Ralstonia solanacearum could be managed by soil application of Karanj (Pongamia) cake @ 0.10 and 0.15 kg/m2 or bleaching powder @ 30 kg/ha or lime @ 2500 kg/ha applied 15 days before transplanting. Seed treatment of tomato with Azotobactor chroococcum + soil application was most effective against incidence of damping off. Treatment of tomato seeds with Trichodermaviride + Captan showed minimum root and shoot length indicating the incompatibility with them.
