Abstract

Laboratory studies revealed that all seed samples were infected with 16 fungal species belonging to 10 different genera. The efficacies of fungicide (carbedazim 50 WP) and biofungicides (Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus niger, Pseudomonas fluorescens, & Bacillus subtilis) were tested and found that T. viride was superior than other bio-agents and increased field emergence by 34% over control with a decrease of post emergence death by 73%.
