Abstract
Red rot of sugarcane caused by the pathogen Colletotrichum falcatum Went is a major constraint in the profitable cultivation of sugarcane in India. A field experiment was conducted to assess the impact of soil application of Trichoderma multiplied culture (TMC) @220 kg/ ha alone or in combination with MHAT on red rot induced bud mortality in sugarcane. Setts of genotype CoS 96268 (moderately resistant) and CoLk 7701 (susceptible), pre inoculated with C. falcatum, were subjected to MHAT, TMC application or combination of both and planted. The findings of the study indicated that sett treatment with MHAT alone or in combination with TMC soil application was highly effective in suppressing C. falcatum induced bud mortality.
