The experiment was conducted under pot conditions in the Department of Plant Pathology, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, by incorporating the plant leaf powders @ 30 g/kg soil. The mortality was recorded at the intervals of 20, 30 and 40 days after sowing the mungbean seeds. Among all the treatment botanical leaf, powder of Neem (Azadirachta indica) was found most effective against Rhizoctonia solani followed by botanical Neelgiri leaf powder (Eucalyptus globulus).
