Integrated Disease Management against Wilt Disease of Pigeonpea Caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. udum

Pigeonpea wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. udum is one of the most devastating soil-borne diseases of Pigeonpea. Concerned study conducted during Kharif 2016 and Kharif 2017 in Agricultural Research Station, Badnapur (M.S) aimed to find integrated disease management strategies to control Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. udum causing pigeonpea wilt disease. Result indicated that all 16 treatments during Kharif 2016 under normal soil and sick soil condition, soil application of (T. viride + neem seed cake) + seed treatment of (carbendazim 25 % WP + mancozeb 50 % WP + T. viride) + soil drenching of azoxystrobin 23 EC showed minimum wilt incidence i.e. 3.33 % and 40.83 % with maximum yield compared to other treatments i.e. 1424.28 kg/ha and 513.05 kg/ha, respectively. During Kharif 2017 under normal soil and sick soil conditions, soil application of (T. viride + neem seed cake) + seed treatment of (carbendazim 25 % WP + mancozeb 50 % WP + T. viride) + soil drenching of azoxystrobin 23 EC showed minimum wilt incidence i.e. 7.12 % and 45.42 % with maximum yield i.e. 1368.73 kg/ha and 458.38 kg/ha, respectively compared to other treatments.
