Abstract
Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn and Fusarium species Schlecht are reported to be associated with wilting and root rot diseases in different crop plants all over the world. To improve crop production, fertilizers like cow dung, goat dung, urea and Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) with doses of 0.01 and 0.1 % w/w were mixed in soil in combination with seed treatment with stock solution of Thuja orientalis L. plant at 100% (w/v). Results revealed that maximum improvement in growth and reduction in colonization of root infecting fungi like M. phaseolina, R. solani and Fusarium spp., were recorded when 0.1 and 0.01% goat dung was incorporated in soil in combination with seed treatment with T. orientalis extract on cowpea and mash bean plants.
