Abstract

                                Efficacy of soil application of three fungicides viz., carbendazim 0.1 per cent, quinto- zene 0.1 per cent and TMTD 0.2 per cent and two granular insecticides viz., aldicarb and carbofuran 1.0 kg. a.i. pur ha on the control of root rot under laboratory, pot culture and field conditions was assessed. Soil application with carbendazim 0.1 per cent and quinto- zene 0.1 per cent were effective in controiling root rot disease followed by TMTD 0.2 per cent. But the granular insecticides did not significantly affect the disease incidence in comparison with fungicides. Carbofuran and aldicarb at 1.0 Kg. a.i. per ha and their com- binations with carbendazim. quintozene and TMTD were effective In reducing the stem fly incidence.
