Abstract

An experiment was undertaken during kharif 2011–2012 to evaluate fungicides and bio agents against seed and soil borne diseases of groundnut. Seed treatment with tebuconazole resulted in minimum collar rot (0.83%), root rot (2.25%) and stem rot (0.02%) incidences, followed by seed treatment with mancozeb+ two sprays of hexaconazole as compare to other treatments. The treatment, tebuconazole + two sprays of tebuconazole recorded higher pod yield (1474 kg/ha), followed by seed treatment with mancozeb +three sprays of hexaconazole and seed treatment with Trichoderma + two sprays of mancozeb.
