Abstract
Integrated Disease Management (IDM) approach was carried out to combat pigeonpea wilt a
combination of best fungicides, bio agents, organic amendments and different cropping
systems. Carbendazim seed treatment @ 2g/kg + Trichoderma viride soil application @ 2.5
kg /ha in FYM @ 50 kg / ha recorded significantly lowest wilt incidence of 13.20 per cent and
highest yield of 748.70 kg/ha, followed by T. viride seed treatment @ 5g/kg + T. viride soil
application @ 2.5kg /ha in FYM @ 50 kg / ha with wilt incidence of 15.17 per cent with yield of
722.50kg/ha. Pigeonpea intercropped with sorghum @1:2 recorded significantly lesser wilt
incidence of 15.77 per cent and yield of 228.60 kg/ha, followed by pigeonpea with sorghum @
3:1 which recorded wilt incidence of 18.61 per cent with yield of 362.60 kg/ha.
