Among the different treatments evaluated, T8 treatment (seed treatment (ST) with carbendazim (2 g/kg of seeds) followed by one foliar spray (FS) with carbendazim 0.1%) was found superior in managing the disease by recording lowest disease incidence (8.38%) with highest seed yield (619 kg/ha). This treatment was followed by T6 treatment (ST with T. viride @ 5 g/kg of seeds with one foliar spray of Carbendazim 0.1 %) with disease incidence of 10.18 and seed yield of 602.22 kg/ha.
