Abstract Root rot/wilt complex in general was found widely distributed in moderate to high intensity whereas white rot was in low to moderate proportion. Powdery mildew was also moderate to high in intensity and occurred in almost constant proportion every year. Three field experiments on fungicide, biocontrol and integrated management were conducted from 1998 to 2003 for the management of root rot/wilt complex, white rot and powdery mildew at experimental farm Highland agricultural research and extension Centre, Kukumseri (Lahaul & Spin). The seed treatment with Bavistin gave best management of root rot/wilt complex and white rot as well and resulted in highest green pod yield. The combined application of bioagent as seed treatment and soil application gave highest disease control of both the root rot/wilt complex and white rot diseases, i.e. 46.6 and 49.5%, respectively. The integration of seed treatment with Bavistin (@ 2.5g/kg seed), soil application of Trichoderma vuide (@ 2.5kg/62kg FYM/ha) and one foliar spray each of Bavistin (@ 0.1%) and Contaf (0.05%) gave best disease management with 51.9, 54.6 and 91.9% control of root rot/wilt complex, white rot and powdery mildew diseases, respectively along with highest green pod yield.
