Field investigation evaluates biocontrol effectiveness against white rust in Indian mustard, highlighting sustainable options.

The central aim is to evaluate biocontrol agents' effectiveness in managing white rust in mustard crops.
Conducted field trials during the Rabi season of 2024-25 at Vikrant University.
Utilized a randomized block design with four replications and seven treatment combinations.
Recorded key metrics including disease incidence, percent disease index, and seed yield weekly.
Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens significantly reduced disease incidence to 22.1%.
Produced a percent disease index of 26.7%, representing a 52.9% reduction compared to control.
Achieved the highest seed yield of 1580 kg ha⁻¹, a 54.9% increase over the untreated control.

Vydyanad et al. (2026) studied this question.
