An experiment was conducted to study the disease suppressing and growth promoting potential of Trichoderma and its Integration with carboxin in brinjal during Kharif seasons of 2003 and 2004 at the Zonal Research Centre, Nagina of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut. The most effective treatment was seedling root dip by T. viride @ 0.4% mixed with carboxin @ 0.1% for providing maximum protection to the crop by giving less disease Incidence (8.4%). While maximum plant height was recorded (102.45 cm) in the treatment with T. viride @ 0.4%. The yield of brinjal was superior (139.65 q/ha) in treatment with T. viride @ 0.4% + carboxin @ 0.1% as compared to control (92.4 q/ha). Therefore, It was concluded that the seedling roots of brinjal should be dipped in the suspension of T. viride @ 0.4% + carbonium @ 0.1% for the management of collar rot and increased yield in brinjal.
