Use of Prosopis spp. in the control of root infecting fungi on okra

Soil amendment with Prosopis juliflora, P.glandulosa, P.cinererea and neem cake significantly (p0.05) controlled the infection of Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani on okra roots. Combined use of Prosopis spp., with Verticillium chlamydosporium and Paecilomyces lilacinus...

Summary:Soil amendment with Prosopis juliflora, P.glandulosa, P.cinererea and neem cake significantly (p0.05) controlled the infection of Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani on okra roots. Combined use of Prosopis spp., with Verticillium chlamydosporium and Paecilomyces lilacinus showed better control of root infecting fungi than their separate use. Greater plant height and fresh weight shoot was produced by V.chlamydosporium used with neem cake. P.cinererea used alone also significantly (p0.05) increased plant height and fresh weight of shoot. Prosopis spp., can therefore, be exploited for the control of root infecting fungi.
