Chemical and biological control of collar rot disease of teak (Tectona grandis Linn.f.) caused by R. solani anamorph of T. cucumeris is discussed in this paper. Fungicidal evaluation revealed that Emisan-6, Indofil M-45 and Bavistin were effective in controlling the disease. Biocontrol agents T. viride MNT-7 also found to be effective in the control of the disease and therefore these may be used to control the disease in teak nurseries.
