Management of dry root rot [Macrophomina phaseolina (tassi.) goid] of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) through bioagents and bio-fertilizer In vivo

Bio-control agents and bio-fertilizer minimized the root rot incidence, increased percent inhibition, increased grain yield and nodulation in mungbean significantly as compared to control. The minimum 13.50% disease incidence, maximum 79.23% inhibition of dry root rot, maximum grain yield of 14.8q/ha and maximum 24 nodules/plant were observed in the treatment T₁₃. Where T. harzianum in combination with Rhizobium was used as seed treatment and soil application followed by the treatment (T₁₄) where P. fluorescens was used in combination with Rhizobium (18.50% disease incidence, 71.54% disease inhibition,13.4q/ha grain yield and 21 nodules/plant. used as seed treatment and soil application.
