Abstract:

In the present investigation pot culture studies under glass house condition revealed that all the treatments were effective in reducing the total, pre- and post-emergence seedlings mortality due to collar rot, root rot and wilt diseases over control in sick pots. Seed soaking treatments also significantly reduced the incidence of collar rot, root rot and wilt diseases over soil application treatments. Seed soaking treatment with Ashwagandha leaf extract (500 m g ml-1) found to be best for the control of collar rot, root rot and wilt pathogens by reducing 100 per cent pre- and post-emergence seedlings mortality. Among the soil application treatments of medicinal plants, Ashwagandha treatment (5%) showed minimum total incidence of collar rot (20.00%), root rot (23.33%) and wilt (16.67%) over control (100, 96.67 and 96.67%, respectively) with mean PDI 28.55, 26.67 and 23.57 per cent, respectively.
