Synopsis for IPDM in kharif fennel -Phone in live Dt. 26-06-2024 Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill; Family: Apiaceae), a seed spice crop is native of Southern Europe and Mediterranean area. The odour in fennel is due to anethole which comprises a great medicinal value. It is widely cultivated in the temperate and subtropical regions, of the world. France, Germany, Romania, Russia, Italy, India and the US are the major fennel, growing countries. In India it is mainly cultivated in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharastra, UP, Punjab and Bihar. Gujarat alone accounts for 93 per cent of the fennel production in the country. Cool and dry climate is ideal for the cultivation of fennel. Dry and cool weather during the seed setting increases seed yield as well as the quality of the produce. Fennel can be cultivated in all types of soils which are rich in organic matter. Shallow sandy and sodic soils are not suitable for fennel cultivation. Best soils for fennel cultivation are black cotton soil and loamy soil containing lime. Prolonged cloudy weather at the time of flowering is conducive to diseases and pests. The crop is affected by many diseases viz., Ramularia blight, seedling rot, root/ stem rot, phyllody and physiological disorder like sugary secretion etc. which reduce the production and quality of produce too. Among them, Ramularia blight is one of the important disease of fennel. Under congenial conditions, it may cause complete failure of crop, if proper measures are not taken timely. There was only single and widely adopted management practice for the control of this blight i.e. using fungicide spray mainly mancozeb or chlorothalonil or carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63%. Consistent use of mancozeb to manage the Ramularia blight increased the load of fungicide residues in fennel seed which reduced the export potential and ultimately reduces the market value of farmer produce. Recently developed molecules of fungicides have not been tested against this disease. Moreover, its residues levels/load on seed of fennel have not been measured. However, these concentrated fungicides are widely used by many farmers without any scientific data base/recommendation. In this regard, perfect information regarding Integrated Disease Management in Kharif fennel must be reached to fennel growers of the state.
