Abstract
The experiment was conducted at Central Arid Zone Research Institute (Rajasthan) during rabi 2009-10. The cumin seed variety RZ-209 were given pre-sowing treatment with two fungicides, carbendazim and captan (3 g per kg seed); one growth hormone, ethephon (Ethrel) (800 ppm); two biocontrol agents, Aspergillus versicolar and Trichoderma harzianum (4 g per kg seed); water soaking/priming (3 hours) followed by shed drying and untreated control. The results revealed that pre-sowing seed treatments had improved the seedling emergence, seed yielding attributes and seed yield in cumin. The pre-sowing seed treatments with priming, ethephone, T. harzianum and A. versicolar had significant effect on plant height, branches per plant, seeds per umbel, seed yield and speed of germination and seedling emergence. About 26% higher emergence was observed due to priming followed by 23% 20% and 18.46 % with T. harzianum, ethephon and A. versicolar as compared to control. The mean germination time was non-significant but had reduced to 13.15 days and 13.61 days in case of primed seed and ethephon, respectively as compared to 14.31 days in control. A higher number of seeds germination, a higher number of plants survivals and a lower number of plants infections by cumin wilt, blight and powdery mildew were observed with the pre-sowing seed treatments with T. harzianum, A. versicolar, carbendazim and captan as compared to the other treatments and control. The incidence of powdery mildew was highest (43.2 %) followed by wilt (3.86 %) and blight (3.42 %) in control.
