It is evident from results presented elsewhere that applications of sulphur and zinc either alone or in combination have beneficial effect on soil properties or plant growth. It is mainly due to sulphur application on the waste land having alkaline reaction. Experimental crops Jatropha and mint have also shown beneficial effect on soil properties and plant growth. Sulphur in soil may produce sulphuric acid which is able to decline alkalinity of the concerned experimental soil. As a result concerned problem soil has become almost normal.

Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn) (Teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris (Fr. Donk) is a destructive ubiquitous soil-borne fungus comprising plant parasite and saprophyte with a wide host range. It exists in nature as a different group in terms of the number of nuclei in the cells, its culture feature, hosts and virulence. The genus Rhizoctonia has long been taxonomically problematic. At present, 14 anastomosis groups (AGs), are recognized with distinct physiology and genetic composition exist. Although the anastomosis method is accurate, valid and currently used, it is sometimes impossible to...
