Abstract The field trial conducted at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner during rabi 2015-16 & 2016-17 in randomized blocked design (RBD), evaluating the efficacy of seed treatments viz., - cow urine (2.5%), asafoetidaheeng (1.2%), castor oil seven (5%), garlic clove extract (5%) - turmeric powder (5%), T6- turmeric extract (5%) and neem oil (5%) in the management of diseases of fennel indicated that all the treatments were found superior over control. The germination per cent was highest in garlic treated plots followed by neem oil treated plots. The neem seed oil treatment followed by garlic treatments recorded the maximum control of wilt diseases. The intensity of alternaria blight and powdery mildew diseases was found least in garlic-treated plots followed by neem and castor oil-treated plants.
