which was significantly superior to other
amendments. Minimum percentages of diseased roots were obtained with pathogen
(R. solani) + Trichoderma + mustard oil cake + Provax-200 treatment, while the highest was
observed with healthy seedlings with a pathogen-inoculated soil. In the case of leaf and
fruit rot diseases, significantly lowest infected leaves as well as fruit rot were observed
with a pathogen + Trichoderma + mustard oil cake + Provax-200 treatment in comparison
with the control. A similar trend of high effectiveness was observed by the integration of
Trichoderma, fungicide and organic amendments in controlling root rot and fruit diseases
of strawberry. Single application of Trichoderma isolate STA7, Provax 200 or mustard oil
cake did not show satisfactory performance in terms of disease-free plants, but when they
were applied in combination, the number of healthy plants increased significantly. The
result of the current study suggests the superiority of our integrated approach to control
the sclerotia forming pathogen R. solani compared to the individual treatment either by an
antagonist or by a fungicide or by mustard oil cake
