Abstract

Chick pea wilt is considered as one of the most important disease of tomato in field. In present study fungicides and bio-agent and neem cake were combined evaluated for their efficacy against the Fusarium wilt of chickpea. Under in vivo it was observed that Carbendazim 50% WP @ 0.1% (ST) + Neem cake @ 500gm /sqm (SA) + T. viride@ 2% (SA) was found best effective compare to other treatments at 75 days percent plant mortality (12.90), percent wilt control (80.31) whereas followed by Carbendazim 50% WP @ 0.1% (ST) +T. viride-5@ 2% (SA) at 75 days percent plant mortality (16.00), percent wilt control (75.57). Application of bio control agents and neem oil cake will be an alternative to synthetic chemicals to control wilt of chickpea.

Conclusion

In present study the antagonism activity of Trichoderma viride with neem cake found to be highly effective against F. oxysporum f.sp. ciceri under in vivo conditions. In the integrated disease management under field conditions, treatment combination of Carbendazim 50 WP (ST) + T. viride (SA) + neem cake (SA) recorded maximum per cent wilt control. Therefore, management of Fusarium wilt we should follow strategies that combine the use of additive or synergistic combinations of chemical, cultural and biotic control measures.
