Project Title- Exploration of resident potential antagonistic mycotlora in Berseemroot and stem rot pathosystem and development of suitableformulation for disease management.(R.B.Bhaskar, N.Hasan, K.C.Pandey, K.K.Pandey and A.K.Rai)

Review-• Root and stem rot of Berseem are most important diseases responsible for

heavy losses in its potential yield (Bhaskar & Ahmad, 1989; Bhaskar et.al.,2003; Hasan & Bhaskar, 2004).

• Biological suppression of plant diseases has been promoted as a means toachieve improved sustainable crop production systems that are less relevanton chemical input (Adams, 1990; Shishido et.al., 2005).

• Bio-pesticides responsible for preventing the disease infection in crops asantagonist to pathogen or stimulator to natural defense have become asimportant to agriculture as bio-fertilizers (Dr. Mangala Rai, ICARnewsletter). .

• Micro-organisms which grow in the rhizosphere are ideal for use as bio-control agent since the rhizosphere provides the frontline defense for rootagainst attack by pathogens (Waller, 1988). Joseph and Sivaprasad(2000) alsoreported that native isolate of bio-control agent where better adapted andsuited for the management of rhizome rot of ginger. Contrary to it VanGundy (1985) reported that antagonism to new introduction through the soilprofile is for limited period.

• Various types of formulations have been reported by various workers forexample Ganeshan et.al. (2000) reported that Trichoderma harzianumisolated from soil being used as an effective bio-control agent in themanagement of various seed and soil borne diseases. This is being massmultiplied on coffee husk in Karnataka. In Maharastra fermenter and startermedium are being used for mass multiplication of Trichoderma harzianumand T.viride (Deokar & Sawant, 2004).

• Since exploration, identification and screening of the bio-agents constitute thestepping stone for sound framework evolved for development of viable bio-intensive disease management strategies, the present project is proposed.

L

Objectives-

• Isolation and purification of rhizosphere mycoflora and their in vitro, in vivotesting of antagonistic potential.

• Identification of suitable substrate for mass multiplication and developingformulations.

• To determine the soil properties in relation to the application of formulations.

Aims-• To provide crop specific, region specific, resources specific and farm specific

technology for disease management

,

Goals-• Disease management with the principal aim of improving the production, soil

health and sustainability.

Technical Program-• Sample collection from Berseem growing regions (Ludhiana, Hisar, Palampur

and Jhansi).• Isolation and purification of various mycoflora.• Antagonistic test under the laboratory and pot culture.• Evaluation of organic substrates (FYM, Poultry manure, Wormi compst, Tree

litter, Neem cake, kitchen wastes and sawdust) for mass multiplication of bio-control agent.

• On farm testing of the formulations and soil properties.

Technical Program 2008-09• Sample collection from different locations• Isolation of mycoflora from the samples
