Abstract

Two isolates each of Trichoderma viride and T. harzianum and one of Gliocladiun virens and Bacillus subtilis were used against F. axysporum f.sp. ciceri, Bio-agent tested in vitro by dual culture method, were found antagonistic to F. axysporum f.sp. ciceri. A maximum growth of inhibition of F. axysporum f.sp. ciceri, (44.8%) was reported by T. varide-1 (PDBCTv 23) followed by T. varide-2 (Gulbarga strain Tv) (39.8%), whereas G. virens was found least effective. Wilt incidence was also high in control (20.7, 26.7 and 35.3%) at 30, 45 and 60 days. T. viride-1 (PDBCT v 23) recorded only 4.9, 9.2 and 12.0% wilt incidence at 30, 45 and 60 days, respectively and was also found to be superior to all other treatments.
