ABSTRACT

Laboratory and pot experiment was conducted to control root rot caused by Fusarium solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, a devastating and wide spread disease in the world. Ten bio-agents including control were tested in these experiments. Macerated extract of Fusarium solani +Trichoderma harzianum showed the best result in controlling root rot of lentil with the highest seed germination (100%), radical length (1.56 cm), seedling emergence (95.73%), root length (8.16 cm), shoot length (17.75 cm), number of branches/5 plants (15.56). The lowest root rot (25.93%) was also observed in the treatment of Fusarium solani +Trichoderma harzianum. The other four treatments, macerated extract of Sclerotium rolfsii , Fusarium solani, Trichoderma harzianum, Sclerotium rolfsii +Trichoderma harzianum showed better results over control in terms of all plant parameters. Leaves of Jarul, Mehegoni  and Acacia showed poor performance compared to control in almost all parameters.
