Abstract:: ... Increased consumer awareness on the means of production of food in recent decades has intensified pressure for growth of organic farming particularly for its benefit on the environment due to minimal use of synthetic chemicals. In this regard, non-chemical seed treatments, viz. biocontrol agents (Trichoderma and Bacillus), hot water treatments and plant extracts, were studied as alternatives to sy ...
