Integrated Management of Root Rot of Soybean

Effectiveness of organic ammendments, beneficial microbes and chemical fungicides tested under natural filed conditions against root rot of soybean incited by Rhizoctonia bataticola. Results revealed that seed treatment with Carboxin + Thiram (2.0 g/kg seed) + soil drench with Carboxin + Thiram (0.1%) at disease inception and Pre- soil application of FYM enriched with T. harzianum and P. fluorescens 2.5 kg and 5 kg respectively + neem cake 500 kg/ha + ST with T. harzianum (4g/kg seed) and P. fluorescens (10g/kg seed) stood best by recording lowest (6.17 and 8.15%) root rot with 74.48 and 66.28% reduction in disease respectively.
