Abstract

Root rot of Jatropha curcas is caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola. Efforts were made to assess efficiency of botanicals and bioagents against the pathogen. Multineem and garlic bulb extract completely inhibited the pathogen, whileTrichoderma virens, T harzianum, T. viride and T. koningii. were efficient bioagents.
