Integrated Management of Root Rot Disease of Papaya (Carica papaya L.) caused by Fusarium solani

Present study the most effective fungicides, plant extract, organic cake and bio-agent were evaluated in different combinations under field conditions for the management of papaya root rot disease. It was observed that there was 81.5% disease incidence in control while the lowest disease incidence (29.60%) was recorded in treatment (T) (Comprising disease free seedling + mustard 13cake (10%)+ wild garlic (10%) + dipping of seedlings in thiophanate methyl (0.1%) 30 min.+ soil stdrenching with thiophanate methyl (0.1%) solution three times (1at time of transplanting, second rdthat 3MAT and third at 5month after transplanting)+ Soil application of Trichoderma viride@ strdth50g/plant three times (i.e. 1at time of transplanting, second at 3MAT and third at 5MAT)+ soil stapplication of Pseudomonas florescence@ 50g/plant three times (i.e. 1at time of transplanting, rdthsecond at 3MAT and third at 5MAT). This was followed by treatment T(37.0%), T(40.7%) and T695(44.4%). The effect of different treatments on yield was also studied and the highest fruit yield (1064.67 kg/plot) was obtained from the treatment Tfollowed by treatment T(848.67 kg/plot) and 139T(810.00 kg/plot) over the control T(209.00 kg/plot).
