Abstract
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major legume oil seed crop in India, covering nearly half of the area under oilseeds. It is mostly affected with the pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc is a soil-borne pathogen and causes disease in different crops including peanut (Punja, 1988; Krupa and Dummergues,1979). The loss of yield caused by pathogen infection generally is 25%, but sometimes it reaches 80 - 90% in some cases (Grichar and Bosweel, 1987). Biological control is an alternate source by introducing soil borne pathogens which helps in suppressing the disease (Zehnder, et al., 2001). Several Rhizospheric bacteria was proved as bio agents to control soil born pathogens i.e., Bacillus (Nair et al., 2002, kishore. 2005). While in combination with biocontrol agents and fungicides as seed treatment was effective against suppressing the pathogen was reported by Rakholiya, 2010. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of the fungicides on the growth of the Sclerotium rolfsii.
