Abstract

Effect of soil amendments in the management of stem rot, Sclerotium rolfsii in groundnut was studied. Among different amendments, basal application of gypsum @ 500 kg/ha (additional to the normal practice of gypsum application at flowering) followed by neem cake @ 150 kg/ha reduced the stem rot incidence by 39 and 31% resulting in increased pod yield of 260 kg/ha and 200 kg/ha, respectively. Highest cost benefit ratio 1 5.8 was obtained with gypsum application.
