Abstract:
The green gram is one of India's most valuable pulse crops. Mungbean dry root rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is a severe disease. Macrophomina phaseolina is a soil-borne pathogen that infects Mungbean crops, causing severe damage and yield losses. The biological control of Macrophomina phaseolinaca used dry root rot is tested in-vitro and in-vivo. The aim of this reviewis to see how effective various biocontrol agents, botanicals and fungicides were against Macrophomina phaseolina, which causes Mungbean dry root rot. Trichoderma viride was found to be the most effective biocontrol agent against Macrophomina phaseolina, followed by Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluorescens was found to be the least effective in reducing root rot incidence. Garlic extract was found to be the most effective in preventing root rot, followed by turmeric extract and neem leaf extract. Carbendazim was found to be the most effective fungicide, with the minimal possible of root rot.
