Abstract
Groundnut (Arachis hypogeae) is one of the major oil seed crop India. It contains an average of 40.1 per cent of fat and 25.3 per cent of protein and every part of groundnut has its own commercial value. In fact, it plays a pivotal role in oilseed economy of India. Several diseases like stem rot, leaf stop, bud necrosis, etc., are responsible for decreasing the quality and quantity of groundnut production. Among them stem rot of groundnut caused by soil borne pathogenic fungi is a major problem and economically important soil borne disease. This pathogen causes yield loss of 20-30 per cent and may reach up to 80 per cent during severe condition. In order to control stem rot disease of groundnut best method is biological method which is efficient and eco-friendly method.
