Author(s): Gayatri Biswal* and Dinesh Singh
The trial was conducted at Central Farm, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar in two consecutive years to study the efficacy of bio-agents in comparison with the fungicide, antibiotic and chemicals to manage wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. In the present study, two potent bio-agents Trichoderma viride (107 spore/ml)and Pseudomonas fluorescens (6 × 108cfu/ml)obtained from city market were also used for root dip of seedlings of tomato cv.BT-10 and soil treatment individually and also in combined form. The experimental results revealed that minimum wilt (2.89%) incidence and maximum yield (74.16 q/ha) was recorded from the treatment where seedling root dip with Carbendazim @ 0.15% and Streptocycline 0.015% + soil drench with Carbendazim (0.2%), Plantomycin (0.1%) ..
