Abstract:
The pot culture studies were undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of organic amendments for management of charcoal rot (
Macrophomina phaseolina) of soybean (
Glycine max L.). Among the 11 organic amendment tested, neem seed cake (@ 50 g/kg potting mixture) was found effective with significantly highest seed germination 79.99 %, reduction over pre-emergence seed rot 72.11 % and reduction over post-emergence seedling mortality 78.78 per cent. There was significantly least pre-emergence seed rot 20.00 % and post emergence seedling mortality 15.55 % recorded.
