Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted at Cotton Research Station farm, Veppanthattai, Perambalur Dt., Tamil Nadu, India to assess the effect of fungal [Trichoderma viride (Tv)] and bacterial antagonistic [Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf1) and Bacillus subtilis (Bs)] strains individually and in combinations against major soil borne diseases viz., damping off, wilt and root rot. Among the treatments, the plots treated with the mixture of Pf1+Bs+Tv recorded only 3.18% and 1.12% of pre and post emergence damping-off, respectively and 0.00, 0.37 and 0.91% wilt incidence and 0.00, 0.21 and 0.72% root rot incidence at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS), respectively. This treatment also recorded higher germination per cent, plant height, number of bolls/plant and seed cotton yield (23.45 q/ha).
