Abstract

Experiment was conducted in greenhouse to find out the comparative performance of hiocontrol agent, fungicide, Rhizobium and their integration for control of wilt of pigeonpea. Integration o/Trichoderma viride + carbendazim + Rhizobium reduced wilt incidence by 91.0%, increased the nodule number by 204.6%, fresh weight by 124.5% and dry weight by 274.1% over control. Thus, seed coating and application of bioagent, fungicide and Rhizobium was proved best for the management of wilt and increased crop yield.
