World population of 9.1 billion people in 2050 would require raising of overall food production by some 70% (FAO, 2009). The substantial increase in food grain production over the years has helped to meet the food security needs of the country, but the number of biotic and abiotic stress causes the yield losses up to a large extent. Biotic constraints include fungi, bacteria, virus, nematodes weeds, and insects which causes yield loss up to 31-42% (Agrios, 2005). Therefore pesticide consumption was also increases year by year as 45.39 thousand tons pesticides were consumed in the year 2012-13 (Krishijagran, 2015). Besides affecting the environment and non-target organisms, continuous and tremendous use of chemical pesticides creates high selection pressure on pathogens which force to mutation inside the pathogens and development of pesticide resistance races such as dodine and metalaxyl resistance in Venturia inequalis and Phytophthora infestans and respectively (Meszka et al., 2008, Matson et al., 2015).
