Abstract

Studies were conducted to observe the effect of sodium salts such as sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate on enhancing the bio-efficacy of Trichoderma viride for minimizing the rhizome rot of turmeric caused by Sclerotium rolfsii. Minimum radial growth of Sclerotium rolfsii was found with 1.0% concentration on both the sodium salts.
