Trichoderma viride followed by neem oil showed minimum disease spread than rest of treatments. Effects of different botanicals and Trichoderma viride was evaluated on different growth parameters of garlic crop under field condition at Prayagraj during Rabi 2019-2020. Maximum plant height @ 30 DAS (38.30 cm), 60 DAS (54.50 cm) and 90 DAS (57.56 cm) and maximum number of leaves @ 30 DAS (5.60), 60 DAS (5.87) and 90 DAS (5.93) was obtained by the treatment with Trichoderma viride.
