A glasshouse and field experiments were conducted by using Trichoderma harzianum (Th 43), Pseudomonas spp. (Pf 173) and Jas Mycorrhizal (AMF) for plant growth promotion and management of ischolar_main rot and wilt disease of tomato. There were eight treatment combinations for glass house as well as field experiment. In glasshouse, maximum germination (91%), shoot and ischolar_main length (40.83 cm, 9.79 cm), fresh and dry shoot weight (152.00 g, 28.38 g), fresh and dry ischolar_main weight (9.33 g, 3.90 g), plant vigour index (4301.45) respectively was recorded in treatment combination of Th 43 + Pf 173 + AMF. In experimental field, maximum reduction of disease over control (72.16%) was found in treatment combination of T. harzianum (Th 43) + Pseudomonas spp. (Pf 173) + Jas Mycorrhiza (AMF). The maximum yield of tomato (486.70 q/ha) was also recorded in same treatment combination.

Abstract


A glasshouse and field experiments were conducted by using Trichoderma harzianum (Th 43), Pseudomonas spp. (Pf 173) and Jas Mycorrhizal (AMF) for plant growth promotion and management of ischolar_main rot and wilt disease of tomato. There were eight treatment combinations for glass house as well as field experiment. In glasshouse, maximum germination (91%), shoot and ischolar_main length (40.83 cm, 9.79 cm), fresh and dry shoot weight (152.00 g, 28.38 g), fresh and dry ischolar_main weight (9.33 g, 3.90 g), plant vigour index (4301.45) respectively was recorded in treatment combination of Th 43 + Pf 173 + AMF. In experimental field, maximum reduction of disease over control (72.16%) was found in treatment combination of T. harzianum (Th 43) + Pseudomonas spp. (Pf 173) + Jas Mycorrhiza (AMF). The maximum yield of tomato (486.70 q/ha) was also recorded in same treatment combination.
