ABSTRACT

Trichoderma harzianum was examined for its effects on emergence and vigour of rice seedlings through seed or soil treatments. All doses of T. harzianum in both the experiments significantly increased seedling emergence, root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight of root of rice seedlings, as compared to check. Maximum increase in seedling emergence (44.6796t was observed when bloagent was applied as soil treatment with the bloagent @ 8 gm/kg soil. There was similar trend of increase in root and shoot length, root and shoot weight from soil and seed treatments; Higher doses of the antagonist exhibited maximum increase in seed germination and seedling vigour.
