Biocontrol agents in the health management of capsicum nursery
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Bicontrol agents viz., Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas fluorescens and mixture of Trichoderma harzianum + Pseudomonas fluorescens were tested for the health management of capsicum nursery. Mixture of T. harzianum + P. fluorescens, T. harzianum both from Pantnagar and Ranichauri were found promising in improving the health of nursery over other bioagents used in the study. They were effective in improving seedling emergence and vigour index with significant reduction of damping-off. Hence, damping-off can be managed through the application of bioagents.
