Chemical control of Root Rot of Cotton

• Treat the seed with benomyl or carbendazim @2.5 g/ kg seed.
• Apply 2 kg of Trichoderma viride commercial formulation with 50 kg farm yard manure along with the rows.
• Seed dressing with bio-pesticide preparation of Trichoderma viride or Gliocladium virens or with brassicol + captan and carbendazim slurry effectively reduces the disease incidence.
• Green manuring with Sesbania acubeata + planting during second week of July, and application of ammonium sulphate and intercropping with moth (Vigna aconitifolia) considerably reduce the disease incidence.
