Assessment of Trichoderma and Rhizobium culture as seed treatment and soil application against wilt/wilt complex of Gram
Title
Assessment of Trichoderma and Rhizobium culture as seed treatment and soil application against wilt/wilt complex of Gram
Season & Year Rabi - 2012
Problem  Gram wilt causing heavy yield loss
Thematic Area Disease Management/Plant Protection
Name of Technology Trichoderma and Rhizobium culture as seed treatment and soil application
Source of Technology IGAU 2007, AMU,Aligarh  & Sher-e-kashmir AU-2011
Farmers Practice (T1) No use of culture
Assessed Rec. Practice (T2) Trichoderma and Rhizobium culture as seed treatment and soil application by multiplying in FYM
Other information Seed rate 40 kg/acre, Sowing – 1st week of Dec  Harvest- End of March & April , culture rate-10gm/kg of seed,  1.5 kg Trichoderma is multify in 100 kg of FYM and then apply in soil during 2nd time ploughing before sowing
No. of Trials (Replication) 04

 

Treatment Yield
(q ha-1)
% Increase in Yield % Mortality /sq. m. % Reduction in mortality Net Income Rs/ha B:C Ratio**
No Use of Culture 6.35 37.79 21.25 66.96 9380 1:2.1
Application of Trichoderma and Rhizobium 8.75 7.02 9628 1:2.8
Result : Seed and Soil treatment by Trichoderma and Rhizobium for Gram wilt complex the average yield was 8.75 q./ha which is superior over control 6.35 q/ha. it means by the use of culture the percentage change in yield was 37.79% with disease mortality percent was 7.02% and 21.25% respectively.
Recommendations : Seed treatment with Trichoderma + Rhizobium 10 gm/kg of seed and 1.5 kg Trichoderma is multify in 100 kg of FYM and then apply in soil during 2nd time ploughing before sowing.
Farmers Feedback : Farmer’s get less wilt incidence as compare to previous year in their fields, crops is show more health then control.
