Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: In the present study the effect of Trichoderma viride Pers. formulations against Myrothecium leaf spot of soybean caused by Myrothecium roridum and Pod blight of soybean caused by Colletotrichum truncatum in the field of soybean are observed. Trichoderma viride was effective in reducing the radial growth of M. roridum and C. truncatum under in-vitro condition with dual culture technique. The lowest disease severity of pod blight (7.43% and 16.80%) and Myrothecium leaf spot (2.57% and 8.46%) of soybean was observed in Bavistin seed treatment at 37 days after sowing and 52 days after sowing but the seed treatment with leachates + 3 spray of leachates (15%) shown lowest disease severity at 67 days after sowing.
