Abstract
Brinjal or eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) under agro-climatic condition of Tripura is attacked by various diseases of fungal as well as bacterial origin. The present study revealed that pre-emergence and post-emergence mortality of brinjal may be significantly controlled by seed treatment of bio-agents namely, Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis followed by their soil application. Seed treatment with Carbendazim 50% also significantly reduces pre-emergence and post-emergence mortality of brinjal.
