Abstract

An experiment was conducted under controlled condition at the department of Plant Pathology, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during 2009 to evaluate the effect of seed treatment of different fungicides, bio-control and ITK on linseed wilt incidence under wilt sick field condition. Seeds were treated @ 2g or mL/kg and soil application with mushroom spent florida-PF3 1kg/plot. Susceptible cultivar, R-7 was sown as test variety in plot size 1 × 3m. The observations for mortality percentage of wilted plants of linseed was taken (i.e., 20, 40, 60 and 80 DAS, respectively) and found Vitavax power applied as seed treatment gave superior results followed by Bavistin and Contaf as compared to control treatment. For the test weight of 1000 grains and highest yield was found in Vitavax power followed by Thiophanate methyl, Bavistin and Trichoderma harzianum as compared to control.
