Abstract

Integrated disease management system of leaf blight of wheat caused by Alternaria triticina was developed under field conditions. Mycelial growth of A. triticina was significantly suppressed by Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum, Aspergillus humicola and Bacillus subtilis. A combination of T. viride with vitavax effectively (98.4%) controlled the disease in the field.
