Wilt and rot are the major soil borne fungal diseases caused by Fusarium spp. and damping off caused by Phytophthora spp., Acremonium spp., and Pythium spp. are responsible for 70% yield losses. Biointensive management proved to be best alternative for chemical pesticides which concerns about environmental quality and food safety. With this objective the presen chapter aim provide a concise rewiew on biointensive IPM stratergy for soilborne diseases of cucurbitaceous crops.
