Summary

Mn and Zn salt amendments in soil, presoaking of seeds in Mn and Zn salt solutions, foliar application of Mn and Zn salt sprays has been tried in order to control the lentil wilt pathogen. Best disease control was obtained at 80 ppm of Mn and Zn salt amendments. Presoaking the seeds also considerably reduced the disease. Foliar sprays of Zn and Mn salts were also equally effective in controlling the disease. From the point of view of practical agriculture it can be suggested that presoaking the seeds of lentil with Zn and Mn salts at 80 ppm concentration can form a very good and effective
