Abstract
X Rays Treated Leguminous Seeds in Combination with Wild Plant Powder for the Promotion of Growth and Control of Root Rot Fungi
Naheed Ikram, Shahnaz Dawar and Fauzia Imtiaz
Present research work was designed to investigate the x rays treated leguminous seeds in combination with Prosopis juliflora Swartz in the suppression of root rot fungi. Seeds of cowpea and mungbean were treated with x-rays at 45 and 75 kiloelectron volt (keV) for 5, 10 and 20sec and soil was amended with Prosopis juliflora leaves powder @1%. Both leguminous crops showed significant increase in all growth parameters and reduction in infection of root rot fungi viz., Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina. Complete reduction of Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina was observed when seeds were treated with 45 keV for 5, 10 and 20 sec. and soil was amended with Prosopis juliflora leaves powder @1%. There was significant increase in all growth parameters when seeds of both leguminous crops exposed with x-rays for 5sec (45 keV).
