Abstract:
Background: Charcoal rot of fenugreek caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is most destructive disease of all fenugreek growing areas of Rajasthan, under severe infestation it cause 42.56% in kernel and 36.92% losses in pod yield. Recently, central insecticide board (cib), faridabade banned 27 pesticides including some important fungicides which are extensively used in plant disease management. Therefore, in the present investigation, our main emphasis was to find out some bioagents for management of charcoal rot of fenugreek.
Method: Two fungal bioagents viz., Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride and two bacterial bioagents viz., Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis were evaluated in different concentration against Macrophomina phaseolina in in vitro.
Results: Among the all bioagents, T. harzianum was found most effective in controlling the mycelium growth. These treatments can provide an effective and economical management of charcoal rot disease for fenugreek cultivators.
