Integrated management of Quick wilt complex of Ginger

Among the integrated management modules, seed soaking in carbosulfan 25 EC 0.5% for 30 minutes + seed treatment with P. fluorescens @ 10 g/kg seed, soil application of sesame cake @ 1.5 t/ha at 21 days before sowing + phosphonic acid 300 ppm and neem cake @ 1.5 t/ha + phosphonic acid 300 ppm recorded significant increase in % germination, plant growth and yield, decrease in % of wilting, population of nematodes in soil and root as well as root knot index which were at par. However, sesame cake @ 1.5 t/ha at 21 days before sowing + soil drenching with phosphonic acid 300 ppm was the most economic, environmentally sound, bio rational management module with a high cost benefit ratio of 3.16: 1.
