The powdery mildew disease of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is caused by
Erysiphe polygoni DC. It has become a serious and widespread problem in most of the region
of India, including Rajasthan. In vivo experiment was conducted for three seasons (2017-18
to 2019-20) to investigate the efficacy of six new molecules, Azoxystrobin 23% SC (0.1%),
Propineb 70% WP (0.2%), Tebuconazole 25.9% EC (0.1%), Sulphur 80% WP (0.2%),
Hexaconazole 5% SC (0.1%), Propiconazole 25% EC (0.1 %) along with control against
coriander powdery mildew on the popular variety RCr-728. Each new generation fungicides
were applied twice at 15-day intervals on coriander crop and data on disease intensity and
yield were taken 10 days after the last spray. All the new molecule was found effective and
minimized the disease severity and increased the yield significantly over the control. New
molecules fungicides hexaconazole 5% SC (0.1%) was found effective in diminishing the
disease (15.27%) and increasing seed yield (15.88 q ha -1 ) compared to 72.06 % disease
severity and 11.37 q ha -1 seed yield in the untreated control. The benefit-cost ratio of
hexaconazole 5% SC was highest (4.75). The effect of treatments on volatile oil content (%)
and test weight was found non-significant.

The present study aimed to evaluate the acaricidal activity of TANUVAS
nanomethiconenanomedicine, polyherbal spray, and deltamethrin in cross-bred dairy
cattle. This study was conducted at Naraikinaru and Pillipakuttai villages in Namakkal
district. A total of 20 animals were randomly distributed in 4 groups, with 5 animals in each
group. Group 1 was taken as control (C), Group II was treated with TANUVAS
nanomethiconenanomedicine, Group III was treated with polyherbal spray, and Group IV was
treated with deltamethrin. All the selected animals were heavily infested with ticks (6-7
ticks/square inch) at the beginning of the experiment. The number of ticks in the select area (3
inches x 3 inches) was counted during pre-treatment (0 days) and post-treatment (7, 14, 21,
28, and 35 days) periods. The efficacy of all treatments was calculated. There was a complete
disappearance of ticks from the animal sprayed with TANUVAS nanomethicone and
deltamethrin after 3 days of treatment and reinfestation did not occur up to the 28th day and
the 14th day in TANUVAS nanomethicone and deltamethrin respectively. Further, the tick
population was significantly (P<0.01) decreased in polyherbal spray up to the 14th day after
treatment and significantly (P<0.01) increased from the 21st day. The results of this study
revealed that TANUVAS nanomethicone nanomedicine gives a longer period of protection
and effectively controls tick infestation in cross-bred dairy cattle.
