Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Foot rot disease caused by Sclerotium rolfsii on tomato variety Raton was controlled through the application of five treatments viz. soil treatment with Tricho compost-1and Tricho compost-2; root dipping with Trichospore and application of Furadan in soil. The highest disease incidence (18 %) was found in control treatment and the lowest incidence (7%) was observed in soil treatment with Furadan followed by soil treated with Trichocompost-2 and Trichocompost-1.

Keywords: Trichoderma. Foot rot. Tomato

Location: Joydebpur

Start Date: 00-00-2012

End Date: 00-00-2013

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

To find out the efficacy of Trichoderma on the soil-borne pathogens of Tomato.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted on tomato var. Ratan in the cropping season 2012-13 at Gazipur. There were 5 treatments viz (i) soil amendment with Tricho-compost-1 and (ii) Tricho-compost-2; (iii) root dipping with Trichospore, and (iv) soil treatment with Furadan along with (v) untreated control. There were 3 replications and RCB design was followed for set up the experiment. All the treatments were applied at the time of sowing. The unit plot size was 2mx2m. The spacing was 50cm x40cm. Data were recorded on disease incidence of foot rot of tomato. Data analyzed for statistical significance.

Achievement/Findings:

The highest disease incidence of foot rot 38.0% was observed in control treatment. The lowest incidence was 7% in T₄ (Soil treatment with Furadan) preceeded by 8% in T₂ (Soil treatment with Trichocompost-1) and 9% in T₁ (Soil treatment with Trichocompost-2. The highest disease reduction 61 % was observed in treatment T₄. The lowest disease reduction 39 % was observed in T₃ treattment. The higher disease reduction 50% and 56% was found in treatment T₁ and treatment T₂, respectively. From this study it is observed that the effect of soil amendment with compost materials containing biological control agent T. harzianum is proved at per with the chemical treatment Furadan for reducing foot rot disease of tomato.
