Abstract: The reduction in productivity and quality of mustard are caused by numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. White rust disease is caused by an obligate biotrophic fungus Albugo candida, occurs wherever cruciferous crops are grown in the World and is responsible for considerable yield losses. To study the management of white rust few experiments were conducted at Guru Kashi University, Talwandi sabo (Punjab) under the laboratory conditions and for that different components namely; fungicides (Mancozeb, Ridomil and Carbendazim), biological control agent (BCA-Trichoderma viride) and botanical oil extract (Azadirachta indica) were used at different concentrations on sporangial germination of Albugo candida under two type of treatments (Pre Treatment & Treatment after disease infection). The research revealed that, all the fungicides and Trichoderma viride were performed better in pre-treatment than treatment after infection while Neem oil was effective post infection as compare to pre-treatment.
