Management of chickpea collar rot by integration of biological and chemical seed treatment

Abstract

Biologically and chemically treated chickpea seeds observed after 45 DAS showed that the integration of soil application of maize grain based culture of Trichoderma harzianum (10 g per pot) with Vitavax seed treatment @ 2 g/kg seed proved best combination and gave maximum disease control over check (79.95%). Integration of seed treatment with T. harzianum and Vitavax showed 66.70% disease control which was higher than Vitavax 0.2% seed treatment alone but did not differ significantly with each other.
