Abstract
Fusarium wilt of chickpea is a widely distributed and the most destructive disease caused
by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri. The main objective of this experiment is to identify
the effective Bacillus isolates against Fusarium oxysporium f.sp. ciceri under in vitro
condition. A total of five Bacillus spp. isolates (TB1, TB2, TB3, TB4 and TB5) were
isolated from rhizhosphere region of tomato and eight Bacillus subtilis isolates (BS4, B,
KPB5, KK, BSD3, C1, G1, and B2) were collected from Department of plant pathology
TNAU, Coimbatore. Totally 13 Bacillus spp. isolates were used for determining their
efficacy against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri. The Bacillus spp. isolates showed
variations in their antagonistic activity against F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri mycelial growth.
Among them the isolate B (B. subtilis) showed maximum per cent inhibition of 53.00 %
followed by B2 (B. subtilis) (50.10 %), Bacillus subtilis G1 (48.97%) and Bacillus
spp.TB1 (47.77%).
