An experiment was conducted in the farm of the Department of Plant Pathology, GKVK, Bangalore to test the
effect of different treatments on management of wilt complex of brinjal under local conditions. Among different
treatments tested Integration of mustard as an intercrop, streptocycline and COC were found superior against
Meloidogyne incognita and Ralstonia solanacearum wilt complex in brinjal under field conditions. Among the
treatments tested to manage wilt complex under field condition, mustard intercrop + streptocycline @ 0.5 g/lit
+ COC 50% WP (1g/lit) reduced bacterial wilt incidence (23.35%). It recorded 63.33 galls/root system which
accounted to 72.54 per cent reduction over control and recorded an yield of 1.92 kg/25 m2 followed by mustard
intercrop + P. fluorescens @ 20g/m2
(1×108
) which was effective in reducing wilt by 28.35 per cent. It recorded
51.66 galls/root systems which accounted to 77.60 per cent reduction over control and recorded yield of 1.78 kg/
25 m2
