Summary
Soils amended with organic amendments such as rice chaff, mustard cake, neem cake, saw dust and farm yard manure significantly reduced the seedling infection of rice owing toRhizoctonia solani. Significant increase in shoot growth was noticed in soils amended with organic amendments while reduction in root growth of rice seedlings was also observed owing to the addition of organic amendments such as sunflower cake, mustard cake, coconut cake and farmyard manure.
