Abstract:
Microbial inoculants Trichoderma sp. and Rhizobium sp. were used to investigate their effects in controlling foot and root rot disease of lentil caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii and Fusarium oxysporum through seed and soil inoculation. In vitro study showed that T. harzianum significantly (P< 0.05) inhibited the growth of R. solani, S. rolfsii and F. oxysporum. From the results it reveals that combined seed treatment with T. harzianum-TH and Rhizobium sp. significantly (P< 0.05) increased the seed germination and decreased seed borne infection of the fungi. The treatments also showed significant (P< 0.05) effect in reducing disease incidence in the field over the control. The highest seedling emergence and the lowest seedling mortality were recorded by the combined application of T. harzianum-TH and Rhizobium sp. Like-wise the plant shoot length, root length, stem diameter and fresh weight were significantly influenced by the same treatment. The yield and yield contributing characters viz. plant height number of branches plant-1, effective pods plant-1, non-effective pods plant-1, total pods plant-1, normal seeds plant-1, deformed seeds plant-1, total seeds plant-1, 1000-seed weight (g) and grain yield (t ha-1) were also considerably influenced by the combined application of T. harzianum-TH and Rhizobium sp. From the results it may be concluded that soil inoculation with T. harzianum-TH followed by seed treatment with T. harzianum-TH + Rhizobium sp. was the best combination for combating foot and root rot disease and for enhancing the growth and yield of lentil. However, further investigations should be done to apply the inoculants to control the foot and root rot disease of lentil in farmer level.

The growth, development and multiplication of small ruminants are greatly hampered by the helminth infections. This study determined the status of helminthic infection in sheep and goat of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The fecal samples collected from naturally infected animals were examined by direct smear method for detection of eggs followed by modified McMaster technique to determine the intensity of infection. Helminth parasites collected from slaughtered animals were also identified accordingly. Results of coprological examination showed the prevalence of helminthic infection was 86% in sheep and 78% in goat. The females were more prone to helminth infection than male. The eggs of Fasciola, Paramphistomum, Moniezia, Oesophagostomum, Trichuris and strongyle type were detected from both sheep and goat and percentage of infection were ranges from 82 to 11. Quantitative examination of 20 fecal samples (10 goats and 10 sheep) showed highest infection of strongyles group helminth (1883±125.83) followed by Fasciola (1267±28.87), Paramphistomum (734±76.38), Strongyloides (630±38.68), Moniezia (483±86.22) and Trichuris (450±75.50) irrespective of species of animals. Adult Fasciola, Paramphistomum, Moniezia, Haemonchus, Oesophagostomum, Trichuris and metacestode Coenurus cerebralis, Cysticercus taenuicollis and hydatid cyst were identified from different organs of slaughtered sheep and goats. The results suggest that helminth parasites are highly prevalent in sheep and goats of the study area. Effective strategies are warned to control the helminthic infection for improvement of small ruminant’s production in Rajshahi, Bangladesh.
