Abstract

Studies were conducted to manage the root rot disease of cowpea through seed treatment with different seed dressers during kharif 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12. The minimum root rot disease incidence was recorded in the seed treatment with Cosco @3gm/kg (11.3%) followed by Thiram @ 2gm/kg (12.9%) and Captan @ 2gm/kg (13.4 %). The yield data revealed that the highest grain yield was recorded in seed treatment with Cosco @ 3gm/kg (718 kg/ha) followed by Vitavax @ 2gm/kg (700 kg/ ha), Thiram @ 2gm/kg ( 698 kg/ha) and Captan @ 2gm/kg (675 kg/ha).
