Abstract

Control of Ganoderma lucidum, a serious root-rot pathogen of tree species has been attempted in vitro using some chemicals, fungicides and plant materials. Borax, boric acid, copper sulphate, sodium carbonate, urea and zinc chloride among chemicals at 0.5% conc.; benomyl, bitertanol, blitox, captan and topsin-M among fungicides at 0.2% conc. and turmeric powder among plant materials were effective in controlling the growth of G. lucidum. However, only borax, boric acid, copper sulphate, sodium carbonate, urea and blitox were found effective in controlling the growth of G. lucidum in wooden feeder strips when added in soil.
