Saddamhusen Alase, YS Amaresh and SB Mallesh
A pot culture experiment was carried out for the management of cyst nematode and wilt disease complex of pigeonpea. Sick pots were prepared by adding 1000 J2 of H. cajani and F. udum culture 25 g/pot (6 × 106 cfu/g). Studies were conducted by using bio-agents, botanicals and chemicals. Among all treatments tested, seed treatment with carbosulfan 25 EC @ 2 ml/ kg seed + soil drenching of carbendazim 50 WP @ 2 g/ l was recorded maximum plant growth parameters, less number of cysts (3), less number of nematodes (706.67) and less disease incidence followed by NSKE powder.
