Abstract An experiment was carried out with the integration of effective fungicides, bioagents, botanicals and soil amendments (pot culture, sick soil) for integrated management Sclerotium rolfsii, the incitants of root rot complex of chilli. Results revealed that all the treatments were found to encourage seed germination, reduce pre-and post-emergence mortalities along and improved the growth parameters in chilli cv. Parbhani Local. However, significantly highest seed germination was recorded with the treatment carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% + T. harzianum + NS cake (87.70%), with significantly least average mortality (14.52%) and its highest average reduction (73.68%). The second and third highest seed germination was recorded with the treatments viz., carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% + T. harzianum (82.85%) and carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% + NSKE (80.64%), with comparatively minimum average mortality, respectively of 18.75 and 21.41 per cent and average mortality reduction respectively of 69.56 and 65.25 per cent.
