The Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS) under Tribhuwan University (TU) has been carrying out various disciplinary and system research works through post-graduate students' research and publishing their findings through the M.Sc.Ag and Ph.D. thesis dissertations. Various thesis written by researchers under IAAS were collected and the appraisal of pathological research works on major cereals, vegetable crops, legume crops, oilseed crops and high-value crops along with ideas on management practices was done with the help of a thorough literature review. Data were gathered from IAAS/TU libraries, Rampur Library, Kritipur library, GAASC library and IAAS journals. A total of 68 types of research were conducted at IAAS. It is revealed that major diseases associated with cereals area brown spot of rice, rice blast, yellow rust of wheat, helminthosporium leaf blight of wheat, spot blotch of wheat and leaf blast of finger millet. Similarly, diseases of vegetables include late blight of potato, a white mold of french beans. The major diseases of legumes are wilt of lentil & chickpea, powdery mildew of pea, anthracnose of soybean and those of oilseeds are mainly leaf blights. Large cardamom, greatly known as high- value crop, is found to be suffered from Chirkey Foorkey and leaf blight diseases. Fungal pathogens cause most of the diseases in almost all crops. The management practices at their best results included the use of biological agents along with commonly available fungicides. The study found out a research gap in agricultural pathology as well. It also luminated the future area of research works that is lacking in current research works
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
