Abstract

An experiment was carried out during two consecutive years (2013 & 2014) to manage sheath blight disease by using certain bio-agents (Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas fluorescence and Bacillus subtilis) and chemicals (Carboxin, Carbendazim, Propiconazole & Hexaconazole) by taking different combinations (seed treatment & foliar spray) in transplanted rice crop. However, all the treatments were found superior over control. Various physical parameters and disease intensity % were also recorded and found significantly higher values.
