Abstract:
Chillies is an important commercial crop. Recently the crop is affected by dry root rot disease caused by Sclerotium rolfsii (Sacc.) under rainfed conditions. An attempt was made to manage the disease by holistic approach. Minimum Plant mortality (10.75 and 15.50 per cent) was found in SAAF + Neem cake + T. viride at 60 and 90 DAS during the year 2015 and 2016 which is most effective treatment among all the treatments respectively. The next effective treatment was SAAF (34.75 and 40.50 per cent) and Neem cake (40.13 and 43 per cent). While T. viride was found least effective treatment with maximum plant mortality of (42 and 46 per cent) at 60 and 90 DAS during the year 2015 and 2016.
