Abstract

Root rot/wilt complex (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi, F. solani f. sp. pisi and Rhizoctonia solani) was found widely distributed in moderate to high intensity whereas white rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) was in low to moderate proportion during survey in 2006-2013 Kharif cropping season in dry temperate zone of North Western Himalaya. Eight years average disease incidence of root rot and white rot was 34.0% and 8.4% respectively. The efficacy of Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens and carboxin 75WP (vitavax) were evaluated as seed dressing and soil application individually and in combinations under field experiments during Kharif 2012-2013 for the management of Root rot/wilt complex and white rot of garden pea. Seed treatment with P. fluorescence + carboxin 75 WP at 2.5g/kg of seed was found significantly superior to other treatments in reducing root rot wilt incidence of 62.0% and 65.7% of white rot with highest yield potential of 89.8 q/ha. T. viride at 8g when combined with carboxin 75 WP at 2.5g/kg of seed resulted 19.8% and 3.0% root rot and white rot incidence, respectively as compared to 50.8% and 9.9% disease incidence in inoculated control. This study revealed that both soil application and seed treatment of T. viride and P. fluorescens has good potential in controlling diseases of pea.
