Biointensive management of soil-borne diseases of french bean

The experiment was conducted in the experimental farm of AICRP on Vegetable, VNMKV, Parbhani during Rabi season using the local variety. The plot size (5 m × 3 m) with plant spacing 40 × 20 cm was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four replication of each seven treatment. The rseults revealed that, significantly the lowest soil borne disease incidence ( Root rot complex) on French bean was recorded (7.79%) in the treatment T5 (Seed treatment by talk based Trichoderm a asperellum + Bacillus subtillis (CRB-7)@ 10 g/kg seed and soil drenching @ 1 % in root zone at the time of earthing) followed by treatments T₁ (Seed treatment by talk based Trichoderma asperellum (IIVR) @ 10 g/kg seed and soil drenching @ 1 % in root zone at the time of earthing)(9.89 %). Among all, the treatment T5recorded highest yield (87.1q/ha) followed by the treatment T₁ (86.8 q/ha) which was statistically significant overall other treatment, whereas control recorded the lowest fruit yield (67.3q/ha). Also the maximum shoot length and root length in cm 25 DAS was found in treatment T5 with 37.02 and 27.29 cm respectively followed by the treatment T₁.
