 ABSTRACT

Damping-off is a serious fungal disease affecting seeds and seedlings in both nursery and field conditions. In this experiment, effectiveness of panchagavya in inhibiting the growth of two damping-off pathogens viz., Fusarium solani and Sclerotium rolfsii were evaluated under in- vitro conditions. Panchagavya has resulted in the inhibition up to 66.7% and 83.3% in Fusarium solani and up to 100% and 100% inhibition in Sclerotium rolfsii at 5% and 10% of panchagavya amended potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates, respectively.

Keywords: Damping-off, In-vitro, Panchagavya, Inhibition and PDA.
