Abstract: Rhizoctonia solaniis a multiphagous widely distributed plant pathogen. Web blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani causes huge yield loses in urdbean (Vigna mungo). All the commercially grown varieties are susceptible. Being a typical soil borne fungus, its management through chemicals is expensive and not feasible, because of the physiological heterogeneity of the soil and other edaphic factors etc. Integrated approaches of the disease management are paying more attentiveness in terms of sustainability. The study was conducted at Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Jabalpur, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (M.P) during 2018-19. It was carried out to know the efficacy of different botanicals on the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani under in vitro condition. From the present study it could be concluded that all eight tested phytoextracts evaluated for their efficacy inhibiting R. solaniat different concentration of 10% and 20% under in vitro conditions using poisoned food technique significantly inhibited the growth of R. solani. The maximum percent inhibition in growth was recorded by onion and garlic bulb extracts.
