Abstract: The seed treatment of mung bean seed with carbendazim @ 0.2 % was found most effective among all the seed treatments. It showed 8.4 per cent seed mycoflora as against 51.2 per cent in control treatment. The reduction in seed mycoflora due to this fungicidal treatment was 83.59 per cent over control. Among the bioagents, Trichoderma viride @ 0.6 % showed 20.0 per cent seed mycoflora as against 51.2 per cent in control. The reduction in seed mycoflora due to this bioagent treatment was 60.93 per cent over control. Among botanicals, Garlic extract @ 0.5 % showed 21.5 per cent seed mycoflora as against 51.2 per cent in control. The reduction in seed mycoflora due to this botanical treatment was 58.0 per cent over control. Further, the seed treatment with carbendazim @ 0.2 % showed 87 per cent seed germination as against 69 per cent in control. The increase in seed germination due to this fungicidal treatment was 20.68 per cent over control. Among bioagents, Trichoderma viride @ 0.6 % showed 78 per cent seed germination as against 69 per cent in control. The increase in seed germination due to this bioagent treatment was 11.53 per cent over control. Among botanicals, Garlic extract @ 0.5 % showed 75 per cent seed germination as against 69 per cent in control. The increase in seed germination due to this botanical treatment was 8.0 per cent over control. Similarly, the seed treatment with carbendazim @ 0.2 % showed 1592.1 seedling vigour index as against 1166.1 in control. The increase in seedling vigour index due to this fungicidal treatment was 26.75 per cent over control. Among the bioagents, Trichoderma viride @ 0.6 % showed 1380.6 seedling vigour index as against 1166.1 in control. The increase in seedling vigour index due to this bioagent treatment was 15.50 per cent over control. Among botanicals, Garlic extract @ 0.5 % showed 1297.5 seedling vigour index as against 1166.1 in control. The increase in seedling vigour index due to this botanical treatment was 10.12 per cent over control.
