Abstract

Aspergillus niger and Rhizoctonia bataticola are the potential fungi which cause seed rot and seeding blight leading to sub-optimal plant stand in groundnut. Seed treatment with fungicides was found to check the damage due to these fungi under artificial infestation. Carbendazim SD (0.05% + Captan 0.125%) was found to be the best of the treatments tried in reducing seed rot pre and post-emergence seedling blight and increasing pod yields significantly in all the three seasons of field experimentation. Captafol (0.25%) closely followed the above treatment.
