Abstract:
In vitro evaluation of nutrients against mulberry root rot pathogen indicated that the ZnSO4 at 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm concentration inhibited the growth of Macrophomina phaseolina. The growth inhibition of 100 per cent was observed at 24, 48 and 72 h after inoculation in 1000 ppm concentration of ZnSO4.
