Wilt complex is an important disease of betelvine (Piper betel L.) caused by the association of nematode Meloidogyne incognita and Sclerotium rolfsii. An integrated approach was carried out for the management of betelvine wilt complex disease. The result revealed that, the lowest wilt incidence was observed in combined application of fungicide vitavax power (carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5%) at 0.2 per cent and neem cake at 1 kg/ plant with 33.33% and 23.33% respectively. Whereas the higest wilt incidence with 66.67 and 83.33% respectively was recorded in untreated control.
