Seed Treatment with Biofertilizer in Controlling Foot and Root Rot of Mungbean
D. Mohammad and I. Hossain

Abstract: Seed  treatment with biofertilizers in controlling foot and root rot of binamoog-3 and binamoog-4 was investigated under field condition. Biofertilizer significantly increased seed germination and decreased incidence of foot and root rot of mungbean. Treatment of seeds of binamoog-3 with biofertilizer showed 5.67% increase in germination over control, but in case of binamoog-4 10.81% increase in germination over control was achieved by treating seeds with biofertilizer. Biofertilizers resulted 77.79% reduction of foot and root rot disease incidence over control in binamoog-3 and 76.78% reduction of foot and rot disease in binamoog-4. Seed treatment with biofertilizer also produced up to 20.83% higher seed yield (t ha‾1) over untreated control in binamoog-3 and 12.79% higher seed yield over control in binamoog-4.
