In multi-location field trials during 2021–22 across Baghpat (Uttar Pradesh), Durgapura (Rajasthan), and Ranchi (Jharkhand), which seed-treatment formulation from ICAR-IARI effectively reduced wilt and root-rot in chickpea, outperforming conventional fungicides?

None of the above

Correct option is A

Pusa SSD, a biological seed dressing based on Trichoderma harzianum IARI P-4, was proven effective in controlling chickpea wilt and root-rot in ICAR-IARI trials.
