Field experiment was conducted to develop an eco-friendly management practices against root rot, wilt and leaf spot fungal diseases as well as viral diseases of okra. Soil amendment with neem leaf compost @ 1kg/10sqm found to control 90-100% root rot and wilts as well as significantly increased yield (5016.5 kg/ac) of okra. Incidence of leaf spot was significantly reduced in plants sprayed with 10% neem leaves extract + 0.5 gm turmeric after 30 and 60 days of transplanting. 10% neem leaves extract reduced okra leaf curl disease (OLCD), yellow vein mosaic disease (YVMD) and their vector whitefly Bemisia tabaci population as compared to control.
