Abstract

Trichoderma viride @ 2% seedling dip was found to be the most effective treatment and recorded minimum disease incidence (19.4%) and better yield (7.86 q/ha) followed by Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 2%, T. harzianum @ 2%, neem oil @ 5% and neem leaf extract @ 5%. Use of T. viride recorded maximum plant height (13.06 cm, 26.53 cm and 33.03 cm at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, respectively).
