Towards the Making of a White Paper on India’s Development Cooperation
Authors: Sudarshan R. , Dias Clarence J.
Published: March 2023

This issue of the Jindal Journal of Public Policy has created a platform for students to make contributions to policy debates. In the students section of the journal, we have included papers written by students in the course of completing a project (supported by The Asia Foundation) which resulted in a collective paper on India’s development policy (which is also published here). Faculty who conducted some courses for students related to this subject have recommended these papers for inclusion in this issue. The student authors have benefitted from faculty guidance and editorial help. We hope that this special issue will encourage other students, including those from other universities in India and abroad, to make similar contribution to policy debates. Suggestions to improve this experimental section are welcome
Reflections on some developments in Higher Education in India
Authors: Basu Kaushik
Published: March 2023

A structure of social norms, the right kinds of laws, and the right kinds of governance structures are more crucial in economic development of a country than getting economic policies right. Cultural norms are not hard-wired, as many would like to believe. They change, along with changing incentives and changing atmospheres. Contrary to the understanding that persuasion of self-interest in best for the society and economy, trust plays a key role in societal development. Societies which can trust one another can cut many more deals, transactions, businesses because you can rely on the other side, and those societies begin to flourish. At the same time good laws play key role in fostering economic development. The relationship between abolition of child labour and increasing adult wages illustrates the point
India’s Macro Fiscal Bind
Authors: Roy Rathin
Published: March 2023

This piece discusses the contours of ‘cooperative federalism’ and its implications on national and state governments. Since the middle of the last decade the Union Government is the main source of fiscal deficit, while states have done reasonably well to contain their finances. Since the mid-1980s, states have received relatively lesser share of total revenue, while centre has not taken adequate responsibility in terms of investments on developmental priorities like education and health even though key centrally sponsored schemes like Sarvya Siksha Abhiyan (SAA) and National Health Mission (NHM) have been introduced. Given that our domestic saving rates are not very high, combined fiscal deficit is high and GDP is growing only moderately, prospects of revenue growth is bleak. We would need to spend the resources better. It would be fiscally prudent to provide greater fiscal power to states so that education and health receive greater investment.
A Critical Evaluation of Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana
Authors: Gautam Ajay
Published: March 2023

In light of the poor health of carrying mothers in India , there is a great need for focus on pre- and pos- natal care in the country. In 2018, India still records to suffer from huge maternity rate across the world with a share of around 17%. Healthcare is not only the basic right of people but better health of the inhabitants of a nation contributes towards its economic development. In this context, the present study attempts to discuss the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana which was launched on January 1, 2017 in India by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. This scheme facilitates assistance to pregnant women and lactating mothers with a cash incentive for their pre and postnatal care. This study critically evaluates the ground reality of the scheme- from its implementation to its execution thereby highlighting the challenges being faced both by the authorities and the beneficiaries. The study attempts to highlight the success of this scheme across the nation using a review-based methodology. The study found that the improvement in maternal, reproductive and child health is not only crucial in securing better healthcare and also help in reducing poverty thereby broadly stimulating growth of the nation
Ambient air pollution
Authors: Mitra Rupsha , Padvetnaya Vivek U.
Published: March 2023

Air pollution has emerged as a serious health emergency both locally and globally. The same air pollutants that cause illnesses and premature deaths also trap heat and cause global warming, interfere with rainfall and accelerate icecap and glacier melting, affect vegetation and ecosystems, and also have trans-boundary effects. This complex set of effects poses a serious challenge for public policy. While policy action itself has to gather momentum to meet the clean air targets across cities and regions to protect public health, policy action will also have to respond more holistically to a range of scientific evidence that has now established more a complex link between air pollution and several other environmental and climate impacts. But this is also an opportunity to adopt policy indicators that can be mainstreamed across sectors to align a full range of interventions for effective mitigation and achieve multiple co-benefits related to health and climate security and sustainable development goals. Keywords: Government, intervention, challenges, nutrition, maternal, mortality, resources
Prime Minister Mudra Yojana and Economic Development of India
Authors: Gautam Ajay
Published: March 2023

A large part of the Indian population lives in the rural areas of the nation and is excluded from the financial services available in the urban areas. Many people in India do not have access to farmland despite India being an agriculture-dominant country. Owing to limited job opportunities, most of the people are left to their own devices to earn a livelihood. Moreover, many such people belong to scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other backward classes, who lack proper education, training and financial support. They initiate a micro enterprise or any retail trading activity, which has the potential to expand and grow. If this potential could be harnessed with some guidance, financial support, and training, it could be a huge milestone in the economic growth of the country. The Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi recognized the potential of the under-privileged section of the society and launched this Mudra scheme. This scheme has the potential to be a game changer; it can boost a whole new generation of entrepreneurs who can succeed. 

Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana or Prime Minister Mudra scheme aims to provide financial support to micro/small entrepreneurs by meeting their credit aspirations and by offering an opportunity to grow and expand business. In the Union Budget of 2015-16, the Mudra scheme was proposed by the Finance Minister of India. The primary goal is to “fund the unfunded”, banks are required to provide hassle-free loans under this scheme as per the requirements of the borrower. The end users of this scheme are entrepreneurs in rural hinterlands, women entrepreneurs, micro manufacturers, artisans, small-scale businessmen and tradesmen. This study is primarily focused on analyzing the pros and cons of this scheme in order to analyze its impact on the economic development of the country. The methodology of the study will be based on empirical reviews that are based on the available literature related to the Prime Minister Mudra Scheme. It will focus on understanding the usefulness of the scheme to the citizens.
Mega Events and Their Impact On the Economy
Authors: Agrawal Kartik , Agarwal Nandini
Published: March 2023

Since the 1980s the hosting of various Sporting Mega-events like FIFA and Olympics has become fiercely competitive with politicized bidding processes and strict hosting requirements. Host nations are willing to commit billions of dollars towards the process with the hope of extracting large returns and advertise their nation and cities on a global platform. However, the available evidence reflects otherwise and shows that returns from these projects on various sectors of the economy have been quite limited in nature. Looking at multiple economic sectors, this paper finds that a careful analysis is needed while undertaking to host these events. This paper also highlights various problems within both the selection process and various committees like IOC or FIFA that select the hosting country for such events. We provide suggestions on how the budget allocation could be done and concerns that need to be addressed while hosting these events. These solutions could help derive maximum utility and efficiency of the budget thus allocated
Planned Relocation
Authors: Salem Saber
Published: March 2023

Climate change is undeniably a global phenomenon, which requires timely global efforts and sincere commitments to save the planet before it is too late. The blue Pacific region as a whole is experiencing the destructive effects of climate change, arguably more so than any other nation in the world. Scientists warn us that this slow-in-motion phenomenon is claiming entire nations and will continue to do so. Nations will cease to exist on the face of the earth as early next century. Sea level rise is one of the biggest existential threats that the region is facing. Countries such as Tuvalu, Kiribati and the Marshall Islands have already started sinking, with their citizens looking for alternate countries.

In Fiji, more than 200 low-lying villages are at risk of sinking and the government with its meagre economy has decided to relocate these communities to higher ground. The relocates will lose their most precious commodity, the land, which is their identity, status and source of survival. The other most precious commodity to which they attach a sense of belonging which will be lost for life is their ancestral home, along with their culture and traditional way of life. The relocation plan also creates a large distance between people and the sea, which is the source of their food.

This article argues that despite being considered as an effective adaptation mechanism to climate change, the relocation plan is facing multiple hurdles. The plan is far beyond the financial capacity and technical prowess of the Fijian government. The other possible alternative to mass relocation is strengthening the locally-made seawalls into strong durable structures, which can withstand the strength of cyclones and be an effective barrier to further shoreline erosion into the sea. The small island developing nations of the Pacific region will need the financial and technical assistance of industrialised nations to implement the project successfully.
Legal empowerment of the poor (LEP) in fragile and conflict affected areas (FCAS)
Authors: Singh Naresh
Published: March 2023

The United Nations Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor estimated i in 2008 that there were 4 billion people who lived outside the protection of the law. More recently, in 2019 it was estimated that 4.5 billion people are excluded from ii opportunities that the law provides . By 2030, 85% of those remaining in extreme poverty – some 342 million people – will be in Fragile and Conflict Affected Areas (FCAS), situations in which the rule of law is almost non-existent. For many of the excluded, the law is an abstraction or a form of punitive threat, not something that they can use to exercise their basic rights. The idea behind the inclusion of access to justice under Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16) on peace justice and strong institutions, was in part for legal empowerment of the poor (LEP), in conflict and post-conflict zones. The legal empowerment of the poor is rooted in a human rights-based approach in which markets and human rights interact. The four pillars of LEP are access to justice and the rule of law, and property, labour and business rights. It also admits the fact that every individual should have access to justice, which includes a due process of law and remedies to eradicate discrimination. This paper considers the special requirements for pursuing LEP in Fragile and Conflict Affected States (FCAS) such as legitimate politics, security, and rebuilding social and economic foundations.
Illegal migrants’ :
Authors: Patel Saifuddin , Kaushik Akriti , Baruah Arindam
Published: March 2023

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 is one of the most controversial pieces of legislation passed by the Parliament against popular opinion and amidst worldwide protests. Its prima facie discriminatory and arbitrary provisions intend to grant citizenship based on religion to people coming from selective countries. 4 While most scholars have debated on the religious aspect , there has hardly been any debate on the vagueness in terms of definitions and implementation. This paper shall attempt to delve into these issues and analyse the manner in which these issues make the legislation short-sighted and unimplementable owing to ambiguities. Further, it shall also look into allied policy decisions that make way for the Amendment of 2019. Examining the contradictions and ambiguities in the definition, or lack thereof, of the term ‘illegal migrant’ and detailing the implications it holds for people seeking Indian citizenship will be the aim of this paper.
changing status of Indian democracy :
Authors: Dey Yashoroop
Published: March 2023

A democracy is widely accepted to be a system that efficiently manifests public opinion of the electorate while also maintaining a checks and balance on power through free elections. However, India continues to show an increasing incidence of rent-seeking and criminal politics, even while the exercise of democracy remains intact. This paper employs North, Wallis and Weingast's conceptualisation of social organisation as access orders in a society to show that Indian democracy has a system of political representation with an inefficient system of political access. The analysis further contributes to the literature by conceptualising the means of access in societies and argues that India is a society of limited access orders. Using this framework, the paper argues that the limited access in Indian democracy occurs as a result of manipulation of the means of access by a small politico-economic elite, using a system of privileged and personal inter-elite relationships that results in a growing convergence of rent-seeking practices in Indian politics.
Revisiting fiscal policy and a case for automatic stabilisers in urban India
Authors: Yadav Swati
Published: March 2023

Every crisis teaches important lessons. India's urban poor have borne the brunt of large-scale employment due to lockdowns and restrictions enforced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This brings to the forefront an important issue of developing a social security network for the urban poor which has the capacity to function as an automatic stabiliser during crises. In this paper, I have put forward a case for developing expenditure stabilisers intended for urban India and suggested a way to design and finance it. The role of discretionary fiscal policy in the changing environment is also discussed with reference to the new macroeconomic consensus (NMC).
tragedy of vaccine nationalism in the covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Israni Poorva
Published: March 2023

The pursuit of all the countries to end the COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on the development and distribution of the available vaccines to the global population. However, the emergence of “vaccine nationalism” has posed a predicament to solve the global crisis. Vaccine nationalism seems to be delaying the process to achieve global victory on the COVID-19 due to a lack of supply of vaccines. It is in this background that the context of the paper has been set. It initially discusses the global COVID-19 vaccine development process. It examines the approach of vaccine nationalism by rich countries and perceives the concept of vaccine nationalism through the lens of various political philosophies, such as capitalism, Marxism, liberalism, Rawls's theory of justice, utilitarianism, and Nozick's theory of justice. Further, it attempts to understand India's approach to vaccine diplomacy and vaccine nationalism. Lastly, it comprehends the need to recognize a framework to change the narrative of the COVID-19 vaccine development and distribution
review on national policy of rare diseases, 2021
Authors: Jakasaniya Dhruvil , Tekwani Rutu
Published: March 2023

In a country like India that already struggles to provide basic health facilities to its vast population, it becomes very difficult for people suffering from rare diseases to access treatment options. Currently, about 96 million people in India are living with a rare disease with almost no access to any kind of treatment. The National Policy of Rare Diseases was approved in 2017 but had limited impact as it faced a lot of implementation challenges. In the light of this, the policy was reframed after stakeholder's consultation and reviews from an expert committee. The reframed 'National Policy of Rare Diseases' was approved in March 2021. The study attempts to critically evaluate the policy in terms of its reach to the wider population and access to treatment for the most vulnerable population in India. An in-depth analysis reveals several limitations of the newly designed policy. The lack of availability of data to define the disease as per Indian standards, the absence of a framework for communication between the stakeholder institutions at all levels, and the lack of incentive to domestic drug manufacturers to invest funds into the research and development of the medicines for rare diseases severely limits our ability to deal with this public health concern. The Government needs to work towards developing a more holistic and empathetic policy to address the issues of lakhs of people suffering from rare diseases in India.

Published: March 2023

The aim of this research is to provide the results of ARIMA modeling on rainfall data in Langsa City in 2017-2021. The initial stage of ARIMA modeling is the identification of data stationarity. Meanwhile, stationarity in the mean can be done with data plots and ACF forms. Identification of ACF and PACF forms from data that is already stationary is used to determine the order of the alleged ARIMA model. The next stage is parameter estimation to see the suitability of the model. The diagnostic check process is carried out to evaluate whether the residual model meets the white noise requirements and is normally distributed. The Ljung-Box test is a test that can be used to validate white noise requirements. Rainfall data forms a stationary time series. Furthermore, from the model fit test it was found that the MA(1) model was suitable for predicting the model. Meanwhile, AR(1) and ARMA(1,1) are not used to predict because they do not meet the model fit test. The model obtained with the MA(1) model is as follows, namely .

Yogurt and kefir are well-known fermented dairy products that provide many benefits to human health. Microorganisms contained in yogurt and kefir play an important role to produce bioactive metabolites, including eradicating pathogens. This study presents the antimicrobial activity of 12 strains isolated from kefir and yogurt samples obtained in Malang, Indonesia. Strain K3 from kefir shows the highest antimicrobial activity with the diameter of the inhibitory zone was 8.11±0.07 mm against Escherichia coli and 8.20±0.17 mm against Staphylococcus aureus. Phenotypic characterization through Gram-staining, endospore-forming, motility, catalase, oxidase, and carbohydrate fermentation test, and genotypic identification through the 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis was performed to identify the species of isolate.  Based on the result, K3 was characterized as non-motile Gram-negative bacilli bacteria, tested negative in endospore formation, catalase, and oxidase. According to the nucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA gene, the isolate was classified as Staphylococcus saprophyticus strain UTI-045  with 100% of similarity. Furthermore, the GC-MS analysis of the strain’s cell-free supernatant (CFS) reveals 3,6-Dioxa-2, 7-disilaoctane, 2,2,4,7,7-pentamethyl- (Rt=9.449 min); and Propanoic acid, 2-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-, trimethylsilyl ester (Rt=11.328 min) as the active metabolites.

Effect of customised supplement on haemato-biochemical profile, serum minerals, metabolic hormones, antioxidant capacity and gene expression in crossbred calves
Authors: CHAUDHARY SANDEEP K , DUTTA NARAYAN , JADHAV S E , PATTANAIK A K
Published: March 2023

Present experiment examined the supplementary effect of a tailor-made supplement to farmers’-based diet in crossbred calves. Male crossbred calves (15) were randomly allocated in 3 dietary treatments consisting of 5 calves in each. The dietary treatments were: Control- cereal straw-based diet with concentrate mixture as per the farmers’ practices; CS (customised supplement)- control diet with additional customised supplement @ 0.25% of BW; SD-standard diet. Serum glucose was higher in SD than control, however, CS had an intermediate response. The serum macro (Ca and i-P) and trace (Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn) minerals were higher in SD and CS than control. The serum T3 and T4 hormones were significantly higher in SD and CS than control group. The serum growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) were significantly higher in SD than control groups, however, SD had an intermediate position. The total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) was significantly higher in SD and CS than control group. The relative mRNA expression of cytokines, viz. IL-2 and IL-4 was significantly higher in SD and CS than control group. The relative mRNA expression of leptin (LEP) was significantly higher and ghrelin (GHRL) was significantly lower in SD than control group, however, CS had a transitional position. Thus, it can be concluded that supplementation of the customised supplement (@ 0.25% BW) to farmers’-based diet significantly improved the serum glucose concentration, metabolic hormone profile, antioxidant capacity and relative mRNA expression of cytokines and genes involved in energy metabolism in crossbred calves.

Published: March 2023

The feed efficiency and body conformation characteristics were evaluated in 457 chicks of RIR-selected, controland white strains, CARI-Sonali and CARI-Debendra crossbred chicken maintained at ICAR-Central Avian ResearchInstitute. The least squares means of live body weight gain, feed consumption, FCR, shank length, keel length andbreast angle were estimated at various periods of ages. CARI-Debendra recorded significantly the highest live weight gains and FCRs than the other genotypes studied, though RIR-white strain outperformed CARI-Debendra in terms of FCRs at 8th and 16th week of age. CARI-Sonali significantly followed CARI-Debendra in attaining live weight gain up to 8th week of age and thereafter, RIR-selected strain exhibited better weight gain than the CARI-Sonali. CARIDebendra demonstrated better FCRs throughout the ages excepting 8th and 16th week-estimates where RIR-white strain performed the best. RIR-control strain had the least weight gains and non-beneficial FCRs throughout the ages. The male birds had more live weight gains than the females throughout the ages. The best body conformation estimates were found in CARI-Debendra followed by RIR-selected strain/ CARI-Sonali, RIR-white and RIR-control strain. The body conformation estimates of CARI-Sonali were better than that of RIR-selected strain up to 8th week of age, and were found better in males than the females throughout the ages. The findings on genotypic variation in feed efficacy and body conformation characteristics of the birds could be important to the farmers for selection of genotypes for rearing as per their preference of the traits.

The present investigation was undertaken to determine the genetic worth of Frieswal (62.5% HF × 37.5% Sahiwal) young bulls through progeny testing under field conditions in Kerala state, India. A total of 65 Frieswal bulls were evaluated based on 1037 first lactation records of their daughters calved over a period of 15 years from 1995 to 2010 were used for the study. The overall average breeding value for the first lactation 305-days milk yield was estimated as 2229.19±50.91 kg with a range of 2193.74±66.59 to 2280.62±66.59 kg. Out of 65 bulls inducted in 7 different sets, 33 bulls (50.7%) had breeding values higher than the herd average (2229.19 kg). The number of daughters per bull varied from 7 to 51 whereas the average number of daughters per bull was 16. The genetic superiority and percentage genetic superiority of the top 25 bulls (38.46%) over population ranged from 6.26 to 51.43 and 0.28 to 2.30, respectively. The least squares analysis of variance revealed that the year of calving had a significant effect on the first lactation milk yield of daughters.

Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infections are the major constraint for livestock production causing huge economiclosses to the livestock producers in terms of decreased milk production and reduced weight gain. Gastrointestinaldisorders including diarrhoea may be caused by various etiological factors but parasitic infections play a significantrole. A total of 1755 faecal samples from cattle (n = 594) and buffaloes (n = 1161) with the history of digestive disturbances/disorders were tested at four Disease Investigation Laboratories at Ambala, Bhiwani, Mahendergarhand Rohtak in Haryana during July 2020 to June 2021. All the faecal samples were processed by floatation and sedimentation methods. Coprological examination revealed 33.5% cattle and 37.3% buffalo as positive for GIparasites. The major parasitic infection of Amphistomes (6.3%), Buxtonella sulcata (14.8%) and Strongyles (11.05%)was observed in bovines. Highest infection of Strongyles (13.3%) and Buxtonella sulcata (17.4%) was found in cattle and buffaloes, respectively. Gastrointestinal parasitic infections in calves were in higher frequency than adult animals. Season-wise GI parasitic infections were recorded to be non-significantly higher in rainy season. Area-wiseoccurrence of parasitic infection was recorded highest in Rohtak followed by Bhiwani, Ambala and the least in Mahendergarh district of Haryana. This kind of study is found to be helpful in formulating effective control trategiesagainst GI parasitic infections on regional basis.

A field experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2010-11 and 2011-12 at Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi to evaluate the productivity, compatibility and economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Indian mustard (Brassica jancea) intercropping as influenced by row proportions, farmyard manure (FYM) and fertilizer levels under irrigated conditions. The experiment was laid out in three times replicated split plot design, where main-plots received four wheat + Indian mustard intercropping row proportions (8:1, 6:2, 8:2 10:2) and sub-plots got four levels of the combined application of farmyard manure (15 and 30% N) and fertilizer (75 and 100% recommended doses of fertilizer) applied on area basis. The productivity of wheat and mustard in wheat + mustard intercropping in terms of yield parameters, viz. grains/spike, spikelets/spike, 1,000-grain weight and seed yield as well as straw yield in wheat, and siliquae/plant and seeds/siliqua of Indian mustard, were significantly higher with row proportion of 8:1 over 10:2, 8:2 and 6:2. However, seed yield and stover yield of Indian mustard was higher in 6:2 row proportion which was at par with 8:2 and 10:2 row proportions. Wheat + Indian mustard intercropping under 10:2 row proportion proved more remunerative and recorded higher yield advantage than 8:1, 8:2 and 6:2 row proportions as judged by total land equivalent ratio, monetary advantage, net return and benefit: cost ratio. The aggressivity was higher for Indian mustard than wheat. Application of 15% or 30% N through FYM + 100% recommended doses of fertilizer (RDF) significantly enhanced yield attributes and yield of wheat and Indian mustard. The highest total land equivalent ratio and aggressivity of Indian mustard indicated superiority of the application of 30% N through FYM + 100% RDF. However, benefit: cost ratio was highest in the application of 15 kg N through FYM +100% RDF.

The present investigation on effect of different black-out material(s) on off-season pot mum production of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzevelev) was carried out at the experimental farm of the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (H.P.) during 2011. The investigations were conducted on 10 selections/cultivar of chrysanthemum. Off-season flowering was induced by providing artificial short days (16 hr dark period with effect from 5.00 pm to 9.00 am) starting from 9 June 2011, till 60-70% flower buds showed colour. Artificial short days were provided by three different materials, viz. Tarpaulin, High density polyethylene – White outside and black inside, Black satin cloth. Findings revealed that among different covering materials, HDPE resulted in minimum days for visible flower bud formation in ‘UHFSChr -43’ (60.67) and maximum diameter of flower in ‘UHFSChr -68’ (4.22 cm). However, black satin cloth recorded maximum plant height in cultivar ‘Ajay’ (70.00 cm), number of flowers per pot and number of flowers per plant in ‘UHFSChr -64’ (367.30 and 123.00 respectively). In this experiment, all selections/cultivar tried for off –season pot mum production under different black out materials flowered successfully. Among different black-out materials used, HDPE was best for Solan –Nauni conditions of Himachal Pradesh.

This application is equipped with TalkBack and the application of artificial intelligence so that the camera on the smartphone can detect and provide information about drugs, text, and objects. Recoptic is currently implemented on Android smartphones and applies the image-to-text converter technology with Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The camera can detect the text on the drug cover and the type of drug, and the application will read out the information with TalkBack. Recoptic has been tested with a user acceptance test (UAT) from experts in medical disciplines and potential users, namely blind people. Features in the application include a voice to guide users and drug detection to read and provide information with sound, objects, and text. The application has been tested and received input with the user acceptance test (UAT) method from experts and blind users. Based on the test results and data collected, as many as 923 drugs have been acquired, and the resulting more than 80% UAT is considered successful for the subject by blind people. Recoptic is implemented on Android-based smartphones.

Authors: Juárez-Santillán Luis Felipe
Published: March 2023

La enfermedad denominada gomosis causada por Phytophthora spp, provoca la pérdida de plantas adultas de naranjo en el estado de Veracruz, en algunas partes del país el número de árboles muertos asciende del 3% al 5%. El peróxido de hidrógeno (H2 O2 ) es una especie reactiva de oxígeno (ERO) que está asociado a las respuestas de defensas de la planta ante factores bióticos y abióticos. Mientras que el carbonato de sodio está asociado a elevar el pH que inside en la reducción del crecimiento micelial y producción de esporas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar si el peróxido de hidrógeno y bicarbonato de sodio reducen los daños causados por Phytophthora spp en naranja Valencia. Para lograr el objetivo se planteó aplicar dosis de H2 O2 a nivel radicular y foliar; así como bicarbonato solo a nivel foliar, durante un periodo de tres meses. Los principales resultados indican que, los daños causados por el oomiceto desaparecen en tallo en un periodo de 30 a 40 días, además se observó desarrollo de brotes. Después de 60 días la enfermedad de gomosis en plantas de naranja desaparece sin mostrar indicios de una nueva reinfección. Estos resultados son factibles de ser utilizados por productores debido a que el costo de los insumos es menor que con el uso de productos convencionales, además se tiene la ventaja de no dañar al ambiente por lo que también es factible el uso en la agricultura orgánica.
