abstract
This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of Trichocompost which was formulated by exploiting Trichoderma harizinum as decomposing agent in municipality waste. The treatments were (1) Trichocompost 500g/m², (2) Trichocompost 750g/m², (3) Trichocompost 1000g/m² and (4) control. It has been observed that application of Trichocompost prepared from Trichoderma decreased the Late blight and Leaf curl diseases of Tomato. All the treatments including control treatment showed significant control on the incidence of late blight and leaf curl of tomato. The lowest incidence 3.59% was recorded in Trichocompost @ 1000g/m² on late blight and incidence 1.79% was recorded on leaf curl of tomato by the same treatment. Whereas control plots showed 7.16% and 7.28% on the respective diseases of tomato.
