Powdery mildew of chilli caused by Leveillula taurica is one of the devastating diseases of chilli. The present studies were aimed of evaluation of promising fungicides, botanical and organic amendments for the management of powdery mildew of chilli under field conditions during kharif2018.Among the eight treatments, combination of Propiconazole 0.1% + Neem oil 5% was found most effective for the management of powdery mildew with minimum per cent disease index (PDI) 14.73% and maximum78.95 per cent disease control (PEDC) with maximum fresh chilli fruit yield of (40.66 q/ha) in epiphytotic condition followed by Myclobutanil 0.1% + Neem oil 5% (17.53 PDI) with 74.91 PEDC, with fruit yield of (36.29 q/ha) was recorded over untreated control. The aim of present study was to find out an innovative and environmentally safe strategy for the control of powdery mildew in chilli by integrating of chemical fungicides, Botanicals and organic amendments. The developed integrated disease management is a package that would lower the disease incidence and increase the yield
