Opis

The present investigations were undertaken to explore the possibilities of developing an effective management strategy for root/stem rot of groundnut. M\ycelial growth of this fungus was observed on 30 ºC temperature and pH 6.0. Fungicide folicur 250 EW, neem leaf extract and Trichoderma harzianum were found most effective against the S. rolfsii in vitro however folicur was best under field conditions.These interesting results observed on management aspects could be further explored to find out an integrated disease management package for Sclerotium rot of groundnut.
