The present study on the management of corm rot of saffron was carried out in the Division of Plant Pathology, SKUAST-K, Shalimar, Srinagar during 2005-2010. The present study revealed that the T. viride-2 and T. viride-1 isolates reduced the corm rot severity to minimum (15.6 and 11.1% and to 23.7 and 15.9%, respectively) when applied as corm treatment or into soil through FYM compared to control (60.5 and 64.4%, respectively). Among fungicides, corms treated with carbendazim 50 WP or myclobutanil 10 WP proved the most effective in reducing corm rot severity to 7.4 and 5.2% and to 3.0 and 5.9%, when corms were dipped overnight in fungicidal suspension or given wet slurry treatment, respectively.
