Role of Pellets and Capsules of Acacia nilotica and Sapindus mukorossi in Combination of Seed Bio-Priming with Microbial Antagonists in the Supression of Root Infecting Pathogenic Fungi and Promotion of Crop Plants

Hira Rafi and Shahnaz Dawar

Present research investigate the effect of Acacia nilotica and Sapindus mukorossi pellets (pyrophyllite mixed with leaves powder @ 50:50 ratio), capsules (empty shells of capsules filled with leaves powder @ 0.5 g) alone or in combination with bio-priming of leguminous and non-leguminous seeds with microbial antagonists like Trichoderma harzianum and Rhizoboium melilotii. It was found that A. nilotica, S. mukorossi pellets and capsules in combination with biopriming of seeds with T. harzianum were most effective for the promotion of growth and reduction of root infecting fungal pathogens like Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium sp on peanut, chickpea, okra and sunflower.
