Abstract
Addition of Neem cake, either alone or in combination with Plaid= Mdkum, favours the seed rinination. seedling growth (length and bionlas,$) lower damping -off disease incidence in tomato as compared to other oil cake treatments in this study, in pathogen inoculated unsterilized soil, the integration n'em cake groundnut cake (at 0.1 "0 level) with T. iride completely controlled the disease. All the oil cakes tested favours the seed germination in urtsterilizsed soil treated with T. z'iride and P. Indkum. Oil cakes ,at 0.1 '0 level) increase the seedlino., length and biomass, either alone or in combination with T. viride in P. indiclin: inoculated or uninocutated sterilized and unsterilized soil.
