Incidence ofMacrophomina phaseolinawas as high as 9.75% in clusterbean,Cymopsis tetragonoloba(L.) Taub seed sample CB-5 collected from Jaipur district, out of twelve seed samples collected from farmers in the major clusterbean-growing districts of Rajasthan state. Of four traditional seed-treating materials and four oils used as pre-storage seed dressers and seed coaters respectively, neem leaf powder followed by turmeric powder (at 10 g/kg of seed) as seed dresser and neem oil followed by mustard oil (10ml /kg seed) as seed coater were found effective in reducing the incidence ofM. phaseolinain clusterbean seed, with improved seed germination after up to six months of storage.
