Abstract
Sclerotium rot of chilli caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is one of the most devastating soil-borne diseases whichposes a problem for the successful cultivation of the crop. The present field investigation was carried out forthe biological management of Sclerotium rot of chilli during rabi seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21. It was foundthat all the modules were effective to reduce the incidence of the disease. Among the biological modules, seedtreatment with T. viride + P. fluorescens @ 10.0 g/kg of seed and soil application of T. viride and P. fluorescens @2.5kg/ha and soil application of neem cake @ 5 q/ha + drenching with T. viride and P. fluorescens @10 g/l of watereach twice at 10 days interval starting from 30 DAT was most effective in reducing the incidence of the diseaseby 56.2% and increasing the fruit yield by 66.7% in comparison to untreated control. The treatment also improvedsoil microbial status and achieved the highest plant growth promotion in terms of plant height and leaf numberand maximum B:C ratio of 2.26.

8 of 11 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.
Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
