The effect of herbicides along with fungicides was tested bypoisoned food technique against three soil borne pathogens i.e. Sclerotium rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium udum under in vitro conditions. Out of eight herbicides tested, oxyflourfen, alachlor, quizalofop-p-ethyl and 2,4-D sodium salt were found highly effective in inhibiting the growth of S. rolfsii, whereas pendimethalin, alachlor and quizalofop-p-ethyl recorded cent per cent growth inhibition of R. solani. Sodium salt of 2, 4-D recorded hundred percent inhibition in the radial growth of F. udum.
