Garlic is valued for its unique flavour and aroma and is used in various forms, including
fresh, dried, powdered, pickled, and in oil. Garlic has been utilized for its health benefits for
millennia. Garlic’s extensive history of medicinal use across cultures and its validation through
scientific research underlines its status as a versatile therapeutic agent.The field study was
carried out to find out the best insecticides, fungicides, and bio-agents for the management of
garlic foliar diseases and thrips. The trial was conducted during rabi season 2020-21 and 2021-
22 on garlic variety Agrifound White at the Regional Research Station, NHRDF, Nashik in
Maharashtra. The data revealed that, the significantly lowest stemphylium blight incidence
(45.0%) with intensity (6.27%), purple blotch incidence (15.0%) with intensity (1.07%), and the
lowest thrips population (6.80 nymphs/plant) was recorded at 90 DAP in the treatment – Garlic
clove treated with Carbosulfan @ 2.0ml/L + Carbendazim @ 1.0g/L (dip for 5 minutes) + Spray
of Carbosulfon @ 2.0ml/L+ Carbendazim @ 1.0g/L at 45 DAP+ fipronil @ 1.0ml/L
+Tricyclazole @ 1.5g/Lat 60 DAP + Carbosulfan@2.0ml/L+ Carbendazim@1.0g/L at 75 DAP +
Fipronil@1.0ml/L +Tricyclazole @ 1.5g/L at 90 DAP]. The significantly highest gross yield
(67.85 q/ha) as well as marketable yield (64.18 q/ha) was recorded in the same treatment.
