Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2016, at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram for the management of banded blight disease in proso millet by using potential biocontrol agents viz., Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas flourescens and Trichoderma viride. Lowest sheath blight intensity (15.22%) was recorded in T7 (i.e. Soil application of value added P. flourescens + T. viride + B. subtilis (one kg talc formulation mixed in 25 kg FYM or vermicompost, incubated for 15 days) applied over an acre at the time of sowing) and the highest (63.95%) in T2 (i.e., Seed treatment with Pseudomonas flourescens @ 10 g/kg) whereas it was 65.61% in the control.
