Among fifteen varieties tested, none of the variety was found highly resistant. The variety Friendship showed least wilt incidence (3.5%) followed by Appolose (4.7%). Maximum wilt incidence were recorded on Silva (24.3%). Corm treatment before planting with dichlorophen (2000ppm) performed best in reducing the wilt incidence followed by chloramphenicol (200ppm) and streptocycline (200ppm). Among biological agents, comparatively less wilt incidence was found in Tricoderma viride treated corm followed by Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus sp.
