abstract={The experiment was conducted to find out the efficacy of different treatments against powdery mildew of pea (<i>Erysiphepisi var. pisi</i>) in Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal during Dec. 2014 to April 2015. Four treatments viz. Skimmed cow milk (250 ml/plot), Karathane (2 ml/L), <i>Trichoderma</i> (10<SUP>7</SUP>condia/ml) and Control (distilled water) were used as foliar spray on plants. Considering Disease severity (%), Disease control (%) and Total Area under Disease Progress Curve, <i>Trichoderma</i> was found to be effective than Skimmed cow milk and Control but was at par with Karathane, in controlling over Powdery mildew disease. Number of pods/plant and weight of grains/plant were observed highest in <i>Trichoderma</i>which was followed by Karathane. There was no significant difference between treatments in case of weight of pods/plant and dry weight/plant. AUDPC/day value increased in control in different sprayings but AUDPC value/day initially increased and later decreased for <i>Trichoderma</i>, Karathane and skimmed cow milk. All the yield and yield attributing characters were negatively correlated with AUDPC but number of pods/plant and weight of pods/plant were positively correlated. Reduction in yield was also caused by infection of Rust (<i>Uromycespisi</i>) in field. Four foliar sprays of <i>Trichoderma</i> (10<SUP>7</SUP>condia/ml) or Karathane@ 0.2% at interval of 7 days may be the option for the management of powdery mildew in severe condition. <i>Trichoderma</i> can be alternative method for farmers to have eco-friendly management of Powdery mildew as Karathane has negative impact on human and plant health.},
