Abstract
Effects of systemic fungicides viz. topsin-M (Methyl-thiophenate) and bayleton (Triademifon) on seedling growth, biomass and nodule formatio n of Sesbania sesban revealed that topsin M @ 0.25 g/l showed signific ant increase in all the parameters studied as compared to control plan ts. Bayleton failed to produce any significant effect on fresh and dry weight and root and shoot length. Number of nodules per plant increas ed in almost all treatments and concentrations as compared to control ones. Phenolic contents of leaf samples also increased.
