COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF GLOMUS FASCICULATUM, TRICHODERMA HARZIANUM, CARBOFURAN AND CARBENDAZIM IN MANAGEMENT OF MELOIDOGYNE INCOGNITA AND RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI DISEASE COMPLEX ON BRINJAL
Th. Sunita Devi* and B. Mahanta
ABSTRACT
Field experiment was conducted in a naturally root-knot nematode
(Meloidogyne incognita) infested field. The results revealed that the
treatment with Trichoderma harzianum @1.25 kg/ha and carbofuran
@ 0.5 kg a.i/ha was found to be effective in increasing plant growth
parameters and yield of brinjal. The treatment with carbofuran @ 1 kg
a.i/ha was found to be best in suppressing the final nematode
population in soil. Minimum disease incidence was recorded in
treatment with carbofuran @ 0.5 kg a.i/ha + carbendazim @ 0.05%.
Keywords: Glomus fasciculatum, Meloidogyne incognita, Trichoderma harzianum, management, brinjal.
