Loose smut of wheat caused by Ustilago segetum var. tritici was controlled almost completely through seed treatment with any of the bioagents like Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum; Pseudomonas fluorescence and Gliocladium virens in combination with vitavax @ 0.125% during three years of trial from 1996 to 1998. The values of smut control were even better than full dose of vita vax (0.25%). The per cent seed germination in the laboratory, seedling emergence in the field and seed yield per plot were significantly high due to integrated seed treatment with bioagents and vitavax.
