Pooled analysis of data on wilt incidence in 3 years (2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006- 07) showed that the minimum wilt incidence of 15.6 % was recused in plots with seed priming with T. viride @ 4g kg-1 seed plus soil application of neem oil cake @ 250kg ha-1. It also recorded the maximum grain yield of 14.9 q ha-1, 35.2 % increase in yield over control with cost benefit ratio of 1: 2.7. This treatment was at par with seed priming with T. viride @ 4g kg-1 seed and soil application of karanj and 38% oil cake @ 200kg ha-1 that recorded wilt incidence of 18.1%, grain yield of 14.1q ha-1 and 38% increase in yield over control with cost benefit ratio of Rs. 1: 4.8. Soil application of FYM @ 1.0t ha-1 having T. viride @ 1.0kg q-1 of FYM, recorded 18.3%wilt incidence and 13.8q ha-1 grain yield.
