In vitro evaluation of organic inputs against cumin wilt causing Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cumini

Abstract:

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different organic inputs on radial colony growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cumini. The poisoned food technique in potato dextrose agar medium was used at various concentrations in vitro. Six organic inputs were evaluated against F. oxysporum f. sp. cumini using poisoned food technique in vitro at three different concentrations 5, 10 and 15 per cent. Among organic inputs, Panchagavya was found effective against F. oxysporum f. sp. cumini and resulted that no growth of mycelial and cent per cent inhibition of F. oxysporum f. sp. cumini at 5, 10 and 15 per cent concentration.
