Abstract:
Wilt of green gram caused by Fusarium oxysporum is one of the most devastating diseases which causes huge losses in the crop. In present investigation, field study was conducted during Rabi season 2022-23 to integrate the treatment of soil solarization alone and soil solarization along with soil amendment viz., neem cake, three bio-agents viz., Trichoderma harzianum, T. longibrachiatum, T. koningii and two fungicides carbendazim 50% WP and captain 50% WP against pathogen causing wilt disease of green gram. Among various treatments, soil solarization along with seeds treatment of carbendazim 50% WP @ 2g/kg was most effective showing least wilt incidence (8.33%) followed by soil solarization along with seeds treatment of captain 50% WP @ 2g/kg (10.87%), soil solarization along with seeds treatment of T. harzianum (13.33%), soil solarization along with seeds treatment of T. longibrachiatum (16.28%), soil solarization along with soil application of neem cake (19.05%), soil solarization along with seeds treatment of T. koningii (21.95%),%), soil solarization along with soil application of neem cake (19.05%) and soil solarization alone was least effective (26.32%) over untreated control.
