Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is an annual herb of the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) and an important spice crop and its production is limited due to wilt disease. So, for management of cumin wilt and to gain higher seed yield broadcasting application of Trichoderma harzianum or Trichoderma viride or Pseudomonas fluorescens either alone or in combination @ 5kg talc based product/ ha (carrier FYM 500 kg/ha) should be given at the time of sowing and one month after sowing (carrier soil 100 kg/ha).As the population of Trichoderma spp. and Pseudomonas spp. increases the population of Fusarium spp. decreases and the wilt incidence also decreases.
