Influence of formulations, doses and time of application of fungal Bio-agents on Rice Sheath blight

Ashraf Ali Khan, Asha Sinha

Abstract

Influence of formulations, doses and time of application of Trichoderma harzianum and T. virens was evaluated to manage rice sheath blight, under field conditions. Talc+ CMC based formulation of T. harzianum was found best in reducing sheath blight (45.1%) and increasing grain yield (24.0%). Higher rate (8g/l) of the bio-agent(s) was found superior in reducing sheath blight as compared to lower doses. Fungal bio-agent(s) applied 7 days before inoculation of Rhizoctonia solani resulted 67.0% reduction of the disease as compared to simultaneous application.
