Effect of fungitoxicants and soil amendment on the control of black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani) in potato (Solanum tuberosilln L.)

Studies on the fungicidal treatment of black scurfed seed potatoes indicated that both Bavistin and Agallol individually increased the number of healthy marketable tubers with reduced tuber infection. But they did not inflnence the yield. Soil amendment with rice huSk failed to reduce the disease intensity/incidence.
