Integration of different methods for suitable management of Fusarium wilt revealed that the minimum disease severity was found in case of soil application with Mushroom spent + combined seedling treatment with T. harzianum, Azotobacter and Rhizobium + first foliar application with Benfil (Carbendazim) + second foliar application with Matco (Metalaxyl + Mancozeb), representing the value 6.50% as against 54.65 per cent in case of control. Growth promoting effect of plants has also been noticed due to application of IDM practices. The maximum shoot length and root length was observed in the treatment of soil application with Mushroom spent + combined seedling treatment with T. harzianum, Azotobacter and Rhizobium + first foliar application with Benfil (Carbendazim) + second foliar application withMatco (Metalaxyl + Mancozeb) representing the values 45.50cm and 37.00cm, respectively at 45 DAT against 29.50cm and 10.15cm in case of control and 23.40cm and 8.50cm in case of control 2. Fresh and dry weights of the shoots were also found maximum in the same treatment, representing the values 66.50gm and 21.50gm, respectively. Similar observations have also been recorded in case of fresh and dry weights of roots with the values 36.50gm and 12.30gm, respectively. Maximum number of branches and flowers/plant were also found in the T7 treatment where soil application with Mushroom spent + combined seedling treatment with T. harzianum, Azotobacter and Rhizobium + first foliar application with Benfil (Carbendazim) + Second foliar application with Matco (Metalaxyl +Mancozeb) showing 13.60 branches/plant and 90.60 flowers/plant where in case of control-1 the values are 5.80 and 50.90 and control-2 values are 3.60 and 16.40. The maximum yield with 1.703kg/plant was also obtained from the same treatment.
