Abstract:
Soybean is one of the most important legumes, rich in protein and oil, which can be used in agriculture and oil extraction industry. Rhizoctonia solani, where causing foot and root rots of young soybean plants which characterized by the browning of the vascular tissue of roots and stems. Seed and soil treatment with Trichoderma spp and fungicides alone or combined treatments enhanced plant growth parameters significantly but Seed inoculated with R. solani + Seed dressing with Aazoxystrobin + T. harzianum and Soil infested with R. solani + T. harzianum + Seed (untreated) increasing germination percent, mortality fresh weight, dry weights vigour index mass, seedling length and vigour index. Most treatments bio-agents and fungicides combinedly significantly enhanced growth parameters and reduction disease incidence of Rhizoctonia solani in soybean crop.
