Abstract
With the mission attempting eco-friendly management of pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and root knot nematode Melidogyne incognita causing disease complex on tomato. The development of disease management package through non chemical natural resources particularly using antagonist fungal bioagent T. viride and P. lilacinus with Karanj oil seed cake was found most effective and by this integrated treatment we get maximum yield with minimum disease complex incidence. In this treatment minimum number of gall/plant, number of egg masses/plant, number of eggs/ egg masses and nematode population with high egg parasitization of egg masses through fungal bioagent were recorded. By this integrated treatment we get maximum yield with minimum disease complex incidence.
