Abstract:

Fusarium wilt of tomato, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Fol), poses a serious threat to tomato cultivation worldwide. The present study focused on the isolation, characterization, and evaluation of native antagonistic microbes—Trichoderma spp. and Bacillus spp.—for their biocontrol potential against Fol under in vitro conditions. Ten Trichoderma isolates and ten Bacillus isolates were obtained from rhizosphere soils of healthy tomato plants across Tamil Nadu and characterized morphologically, biochemically, and molecularly. Dual culture assays and poisoned food technique revea

Abstract:

Chilli is affected by the wilt disease caused by Fusarium solani, under irrigated conditions. In absence of resistant cultivars, the disease needs to be controlled by management practices. In vitro evaluation of six fungicides by Poisoned Food Technique showed that a combination of carbendazim+mancozeb was effective in inhibiting mycelial growth (93.6%), followed by Carbendazim alone (92.4%). In vivo soil drench using the same fungicides proved effective in controlling the pathogen. Integration of different treatments, including seedling dip, with Carbendazim, addition of vermicompost, drenchi
