Zinc Induced Enzymatic Defense Mechanisms in Rhizoctonia Root Rot Infected Clusterbean Seedlings

Table 1

Effect of different levels of zinc on the incidence of root rot of guar inoculated with Rhizoctonia species at 15 days after sowing.

Treatments	Rate of application; (mg kg^−1 soil)	Disease incidence; (%)
Zinc (control)	0	68
Zinc	10	41
Zinc	20	27
Carbendazim*	0.2%	27
SE (m)		0.198
C.D. 5%		0.555

∗Seeds were treated with carbendazim at the rate of 2 g kg⁻¹ and sown in unamended soil; each value is the mean of three replications.
