Abstract

Fungal antagonists and fungicides were evaluated for the management of wilt of cumin(Cuminum cyminum) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cumini at Jobner (Rajasthan). On thebasis of in vitro studies, Trichoderma harzianum isolate I6 and carbendazim were the best treatmentsin inhibiting the growth of the pathogen. The promising  fungal antagonist and fungicideswere tested in the field at different combinations and the most effective combination was seedtreatment with carbendazim (2 g kg -1 seed) in combination with T. harzianum isolate I6 (108spores ml-1). This treatment combination resulted in significantly lowest disease incidence(11.7%) and highest yield (6.17 q ha-1).
