S.</p> <p><em>Dept.of Plant Pathology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Karnataka, India-580 005.</em></p> <p>E mail: mslrao@gmail.com<;/p> <p>The efficacy of bio priming of soybean seeds as a component of integrated management strategy against pod blight complex was tested during two years field trial conducted at Ugarkhurd research station in northern Karnataka in India during 2016-17 and 2017-18.The results indicated the efficacy of seed treatment with Carboxin + Thiram @ 2 g/Kg of seed+ foliar spray with Trifloxystrobin+ Tebuconazole (0.7 g/l) at 50 and 70 DAS in minimizing pod blight complex. Bio priming of soybean seeds with <em>Pseudomonas fluroscens</em>@ 8 g/Kg of seed + Coir pith + Jelly+ foliar spray with Neem Seed Kernel Extract @ 0.5% at 50 and 70 DAS was found promising in minimizing pod blight complex as it exhibited an on par performance with seed treatment with Mancozeb + Carbendazim at 2 g/Kg of seed + foliar spray with Carbendazim + Mancozeb (0.2%) at 50 and 70 DAS though found significantly inferior to seed treatment with Carboxin + Thiram @ 2 g/Kg of seed+ foliar spray with Trifloxystrobin + Tebuconazole (0.7 g/l) at 50 and 70 DAS. However with respect to seed yield, bio priming of seeds with <em>Pseudomonas fluroscens</em>@ 8 g/Kg of seed + Coir pith + Jelly+ foliar spray with Neem Seed Kernel Extract @ 0.5% at 50 and 70 DAS was found on par with seed treatment with Carboxin + Thiram @ 2 g/Kg of seed+ foliar spray with Trifloxystrobin + Tebuconazole (0.7 g/l) at 50 and 70 DAS.</div>
