Abstract: The investigation was carried out in the department of plant pathology, SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during Kharif, 2017 to evaluate the efficacy of indigenous materials against sclerotinia rot disease of brinjal under in vitro and in vivo conditions. The six indigenous materials i. e. neem oil, garlic extract, castor oil, cow urine, heeng powder and turmeric powder were tested by poisoned food technique against sclerotinia rot pathogen. Among six indigenous materials, extract of garlic was found most effective in inhibiting mycelial growth (69.71, 95.72 and 98.00%) of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum at 5, 10 and 15 per cent, respectively followed by neem oil (63.96, 89.64 and 92.00%) and cow-urine (59.20, 81.21 and 84.00%) over control. Heeng powder was found least effective in inhibiting mycelial growth of S. sclerotiorum over control. The study indicates that all the three concentrations (5, 10 and 15%) of garlic extract were effective in reducing the sclerotinia rot disease incidence.
