Abstract
Utilizing natural summer heat, combined effects of sub-lethal heating, cruciferous residues and summer irrigation were ascertained against soil population densities of Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum. Amendment of soil with mustard oil-cake or pod straw (0.09–0.36%) during April to June reduced the viable population of M. phaseolina by 61–96%. A significant reduction (63.9–86.5%) in Fusarium propagules was also achieved by these amendments.
However, magnitude of reduction increased with increasing days of summer exposure.
