Abstract

Root rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. is one of the common diseases of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.). M. phaseolina infected seeds did play a major role in perpetuation of the disease. Treatment of seeds with fungicides and insecticides appeared to offer certain amount of protection against the seed borne pathogens (Minton, 1972, Sivaprakasam et al. 1976a and Sohi, 1976). The present study reports the evaluation of seed treatment with fungicides and insecticides against M. phaseolina in vitro as well as the effect on the germination of cowpea seeds,
