ABSTRACT

Area under vegetable cultivation is increasing in Nepal. However, the farmers are unable to meet the demand of vegetables particularly in the urban areas. Diseases are one of the main constraints for successful cultivation of vegetables in the country. Almost all kinds of vegetables suffer from one or more diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, virus and nematode. Some of them are reported to cause significant losses in production. Based on research results of different authors, integrated management approaches of major diseases of vegetables at farm level have been discussed.
