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

Table 3

Effect of different levels of zinc on the content of zinc (mg kg⁻¹ soil) on dry weight basis in roots of guar seedlings uninoculated and inoculated with Rhizoctonia species at 15 days after sowing. Uninoculated (UI) and inoculated (I).

Treatments	Rate of application; (mg kg^−1 soil)	Zinc
		UI	I
Zinc (control)	0	13.5	23.5
Zinc	10	20.8	24.5
Zinc	20	31.5	47.0
Carbendazim*	0.2%	60.8	74.0
SE (m)		0.042	0.098
C.D. 5%		0.119	0.279

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