Abstract

Field studies were undertaken to assess the effectiveness of selected biocontrol agents in combination with PGPR's against damping-off and wilt pathogens of cole crops. In field experiment also inoculation of the above combination of three biocontrol agents and two beneficial microorganimsms have resulted in increased plant height, head and curd weight per plant, head and curd diameter per plant in cauliflower. It also has resulted in minimum disease incidence.
