The aim of this work was to study on seasonal incidence and extent of yield loss by various diseases of kendu plants and evaluation of selected biodegradable fungicides against major diseases. Field surveys were conducted in six districts namely Dhenkanal, Angul, Sambalpur, Sonepur, Phulbani and Nayagarh covering 8 blocks for documentation of major diseases of kendu plants and for assessing the magnitude of the damage they cause. In addition to these regular surveys at 7-14 days interval were conducted in the kendu research farm located at Bhagbanpur, Dhenkanal. Four fungal diseases viz., leaf spot, black mold, leaf blight and twig blight were recorded in kendu growing areas of Dhenkanal which make the leaves unsuitable for its economic value and thereby reduce the revenue collection of the state. This study was focused on management of different fungal diseases associated with the juvenile leaves of kendu plant rather than the causal organisms. From this investigation, it was concluded that Indofil M-45(0.25%) was found to be the most effective to control leaf spot disease. Leaf blight was controlled by Bavistin (0.15%) followed by Mopsin M-70 WP (0.15%) of about 69.1% and 48.7% disease incidence respectively. Coppicing was found to be the most effective practice to protect the plants from different prevalent diseases. Four fungal diseases viz., leaf spot, black mold, leaf blight and twig blight were also controlled significantly by the innovating cultivation practices like double coppicing.
