BIOFORTIFIED VERMICOMPOST MEDIATED SUPPRESSION OF BASAL STEM ROT (SCLEROTIUM ROLFSII) OF TOMATO

Abstract

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a broadly developed and flexible natural product. Tomato generation faces different imperatives, both biotic and abiotic stresses. Stem rot, caused by the soil-borne organism Sclerotium rolfsii a destroying malady that influences tomato plants around the world, causing noteworthy financial misfortunes in tomato development. In this ponder the potential utilize of biofortified vermicompost for shrivel administration was examined. The organic control specialists viz.

The ponder checked different cancer prevention agents, plant development markers, and malady rates over assigned medicines at diverse interims. The discoveries uncovered considerable contrasts: tomato plants treated with biofortified vermicompost appeared striking decreases in malady event, moved forward development, expanded yields, and increased antioxidant movement.
