Spraying of Difenconazole @ 0.06% and propiconazole @ 1 ml/l at the initiation of anthracnose disease at 10 days interval for three times was found to be effective for the management of anthracnose disease of chilli considering yield, disease severity and economic points of view.
Spraying of Dimethomorph @ 0.1% + Mancozeb @ 0.2% was found to be superior in reducing the late blight disease incidence of tomato but the efficacy of the fungicides was statistically at per with the fungicides of Fenamidone + Mancozeb (sectin) @ 0.3% and Cymoxanil + Mancozeb @ 0.2%.

Sowing of okra seeds at second fortnight of February and two sprayings of Imidachlorpid (3.5ml/10l) at 25 and 40 days after sowing is the most suitable approach for getting higher yield and better quality of seeds under Gangetic alluvial soil of West Bengal.
