Abstract


In the field experiment conducted during 2003-04 and 2004-05 in sick soils, involving sett treatment with carbendazim @ 0.1 per cent and T. harzianum @ 10 g/l along with soil application of FYM @ 25 t/ha and vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha reduced the sett rot incidence significantly and improved both the quantitative and qualitative yield and yield attributes. Sett rot incidence decreased to a greater extent during second year. It is imperative from the study that usage of all control measures viz., chemical, biological and cultural in conjunction, will give better control of the disease than following either of the methods separately.
