Abstract
Trichoderma viride significantly reduced fungal growth and recorded 90.18 per cent inhibition over control. Gliocladium virens and Trichoderma viride were found statistically at par with each other recording 87.77 and 87.40 per centinhibition respectively. The leaf extract of Azadirachta indica (20%) was highly effective in controlling mycelial growth of Alternaria solani which recorded 66.67 per cent inhibition over control, Allium sativum, and Vinca rosea which recorded 55.56 and 54.44 percent inhibition over control respectively.
