Abstract: Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important vegetable cum spice crop grown in almost all parts of tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It belongs to the family Solanaceae.It is the most important spice crop grown all over India. The important chilli growing states are Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Orissa, West Bangal and Madhya Pradesh having more than 70 per cent acreage of India (Anonymous, 2017).
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici cause chilli wilt is one of the major diseases on Chilli which is soil and seed borne. Heavy inoculum in soil and favorable environment condition results in the death of infected plant and therefore total yield loss. In this study, one antagonists, one fungicides and one botanical extract (alone and combinations) were studied against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici causing chilli wilt. Pot culture studies found that Benomyl 50% WP + Trichoderma virens + Allium sativum (95.09 %), followed by Benomyl 50% WP + T. virens (89.85 %), T. virens + A. sativum (87.38 %), Benomyl 50% WP + A. sativum (82.36 %), T. virens (78.39 %), Benomyl 50% WP (73.14 %) and A. sativum (57.24 %).
