applied simultaneously with inoculation (T4), and these symptoms were observed only on 12 dai. There was a gradual increase in DS % over time. The percentage of disease severity was significantly highest (P < 0.05) in the control plants (T1), with a value of 85.94 %, and the lowest in plants treated with Daconil followed by microbial-enriched compost tea applied 24 h after inoculation and microbial-enriched compost tea applied simultaneously with inoculation with values of 36.7, 42.36 and 57.14 %, respectively. At 27 dai, there was no significant difference (P < 0.05) in the DS % in plants treated with microbial-enriched compost tea
