Abstract
The origins of indigenous technical/traditional knowledge are local, rural &community. It's utilised in forecasting of weather for better seed germination, soil, water, and soil fertility management, disease and insect pest control of plants & animals, and post-harvest management, among other things. India has a variety of indigenous agricultural practises which are still popular in organic agriculture in India's many states and are sustainable, environment friendly, profitable, and cost-effective. This review paper contains an overview of Indigenous Technical Knowledge in Plant Disease Management to help researchers in the future.
