Evaluation of Effective Doses for Bio Priming of Leguminous and Non- Leguminous Seeds with Microbial Antagonists and Plant Extracts in the Management of Root Rot Fungi and Promotion of Plants

Hira Rafi and Shahnaz Dawar

Bio priming of leguminous and non-leguminous seeds with different doses of microorganisms like Trichoderma harzianum and Rhizobium melilotii and different concentrations of Acacia nilotica and Sapindus mukorossi leaves extracts was used to control the root infecting fungi and enhancement of growth parameters of crop plants. In this research, it was found that, when seeds were primed with different concentrations of A. nilotica and S. mukorossi leaves extracts, 100 % concentration (stock) of leaves extracts was found to be most effective and 100 ml (pure) conidal suspension of T. harzianum was found to be most effective for enhancing the growth and suppression of root rot fungi like Rhizoctonia solani, Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium sp on leguminous and non-leguminous crops.
