A field experiment was conducted in RBD with four botanicals i.e neem products (Neeem leaves extract 10%, NSKE 5%, Neem oil 3%, Nimbicidin 0.3%,), a bio-agent (P.fluorescens 0.5%), along with chemical spray (Carbendazim- 0.1%) as foliar sprays and control (no spray) against powdery mildew and rust of pea. During evaluation, all the six treatments were found to be significantly superior over control in managing the powdery mildew and rust disease. Among all the treatments T₆- carbendazim (0.1%), followed by T₂-NSKE (5%), T₄ - nimbicidin (0.3%), were significantly superior over other treatments for managing powdery mildew,whereas T₆- carbendazim (0.1%), followed by T₄ - nimbicidin (0.3%), T₃- neem oil (3%), were significantly superior over other treatments in managing rust disease.
