Efficacy of Moringa Oleifera Extract, Trichoderma Asperellum, A Synthetic Fungicide and Cattle Dung Amendment in The Integrated Management of Rice Blast Disease

This study evaluated the effect of integrated disease management on incidence and severity blast disease, growth performance rice. Moringa oleifera extract, Trichoderma asperellum, cattle dung a synthetic fungicide were in sixteen treatment combinations using susceptible IRAT 109 rice cultivar. The pot experiment was laid out randomized complete block design with three replications at rooftop screenhouse Department Crop Protection Environmental Biology, University Ibadan between May October, 2019. Treatment combination M. blastforce had lowest mean 16.8 7.5%, respectively which significantly (p<0.05) lower than standard positive check. Inoculated plants that treated T. produced highest yield 7.6 tons/ha relative to control. showed combined application naturally occurring biopesticides more effective single disease.
