Integrated effect of Trichoderma spp., chemical fungicides and soil amendments on seed treatments of Fusarium wilt of tomato against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici

Tomato wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici is most important and destructive disease of tomato in Uttar Pradesh, which causes considerable losses in yield of tomato. Therefore, present studies were undertaken to test the efficacy of two fungicides, three bioagents and organic amendmants in vitro Azad T-6 varieties of tomato in green house against Fusarium wilt of tomato among the both fungicides carbendazim@0.2% and Tebuconozole @0.3% were more effective against Fusarium oxysporium f.sp. lycopersici as compared to bioagents. Among Trichoderma isolates, T-02 @ 5g/kg seed was found most effective in Average No. of dead plant per pot, Average No. of wilted plant per pot, Disease incidence, Plant height (cm) and Average Yield (kg/pot) over other treatments, respectively.
