n vitro Evaluation of Fungicides and Biocontrol Agents Against Damping Off Disease Caused by Sclerotium rolfsii on Tomato

Efficacy of Different Bioagents against Collar Rot Disease of Chickpea Incited by Sclerotium rolfsii under In vitro Conditions

“…Whereas, T. virens recorded the least inhibition which is 45.53%. These results were conformity with the observations of Prasad et al [8] tested the potentiality of twenty-four fungal and twelve bacterial bioagents against S. rolfsii. They found that the fungal antagonist T. harzianum and the bacterial bioagent P. fluorescens (Pf-3) considerably inhibited the mycelial growth of pathogen S. rolfsii under in vitro conditions.…”

Phyto-Pathogenic Fungi Associated with Damping-off of Tomato in Himachal Pradesh

“…with damping-off in vegetable nurseries. Prasad et al (2017) reported soil borne fungal pathogens such as Pythium spp., Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii infecting the tomato crop and causing damping-off disease. Species of Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Sclerotinia fungi persist in soil because they produce resistant survival structures such as melanized hyphae, chlamydospores and sclerotia which make it hard to control.…”

Occurrence of different diseases of tomato under field condition in Raipur

“…Tomato is known to susceptible for more than 200 diseases (Shelat et al 2014) [42] . Among them collar rot or Sclerotium wilt; Sclerotium rolfsii (Mahato et al 2017) [22] , damping off; Fusarium spp., Pythium spp., Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii (Prasad et al 2017) [33] , early blight; Alternaria solani (Roopa, 2012) [39] , Fusarium wilt; Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Manikandan and Raguchander, 2014) [23] , late blight (Olanya et al 2015) [30] , Septoria leaf spot (Parker et al 1997 andBlum, 2000) [31,11] , bacterial fruit canker; Clavibacter michiganensis subsp.…”
