Six plant extracts viz , Mirabtlis jalapa, Carthamus roseus. Datura metal, Bougainvitlea spectabilis, Boerhaavia diffusa and Azadirachta indica recorded maximum reduction in the incidence of urd bean leaf crinkle virus (ULCV) in urd bean crops at field level Among the antiphytovirat chemicals tested, DHT reduced the transmission to the maximum extent and increased the incubation period of virus in the urd bean plant Fresh buttermilk was significantly superior to fermented buttermilk in reducing the disease spread and increasing the incubation period of the virus in the plant. Casein was found effective in reducing the per cent transmission and increased the incubation period of the virus. Raising barrier crops viz maize, sorghum and pearl millet were equally effective in reducing the spread of the disease in field Spraying of DHT at two intervals. 7 and 22 DAS was found effective in reducing the disease spread when compared with Thuja, buttermilk, ivf jalapa and neem oil.
