	AN IDM APPROACH TO IMPROVE RATOONABILITY OF SUGARCANE CROP IN KP PROVINCE, PAKISTAN MOHAMMAD TAHIR¹, SAJJAD ANWAR¹, MUHAMMAD KHALID¹, AMJAD ALI¹, AZRA², NASIR ALI³ AND FARHATULLAH^4* Abstract: An integrated disease management (IDM) approach was applied for the control of Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium moneliforme and Xylaria hypoxilon that produce phytotoxic substances responsible for the deterioration of ratoon crop of sugarcane. All components of IDM i.e., Aspergo Pak, Penecillium and Trick Pak together reduced the disease intensity (0.16%) that resulted the highest cane height (3.49 m), cane (81.25 tons ha^-1) and sugar (9.95 tons ha^-1) yield. The Tricho Pak alone has significantly controlled all three diseases responsible for ratoon crop failure in sugarcane. ¹Sugar Crops Research Institute Mardan Pakistan ²Cereal Crops Research Institute Pirsabak, Nowshera Pakistan ³Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Peshawar ⁴KP Agricultural University Peshawar
