Summary

Organic amendments reduced the percentage infection of root rot and wilt of pea due to Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi. A fair amount of control of the disease can be obtained by the millet straw with additional ammonium nitrate.

All the fungicides (Bavistin, Miltox, Cosan and Blitane) except Calixin showed decrease in the percentage infection when applied to the soil (200 ppm w/w). With Bavistin treated soil the infection was only 8% followed by Blitane, Cosan and Miltox.
