Abstract

The pot culture experiments to examine the antagonistic effects of the individual and combined application of organic manures and antagonists (neem cake, FYM, neem cake + Trichoderma viride, Neem cake + P. fluorescens, FYM + T. viride and FYM + P. fluorescens), as well as biocontrol approach in the botanical garden, Department of Botany, Government Arts College, Musiri. The obtained results demonstrated that when different organic manures and antagonists (T. viride + neem cake) were mixed, the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) responded with more significantly improved germination, growth, and yield parameters. The same treatment recorded maximum reduction in the population of F. oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (8.75×10-6) and maximum rhizosphere population of 27.35×10-3 cfu g-1 soil and 32.30×10-6 cfu g-1 soil of T. viride and P. fluorescens respectively. The control group had the lowest levels of germination, growth, and yield parameters. Overall, as compared to the control, the combined application of organic manures greatly improved the cotton plant’s qualitative and quantitative aspects.
