Total 48 mutant isolates were obtained from wild Trichoderma viride after exposure to UV rays at different time intervals. Among these mutants Tvuv-40 showed highest percent inhibition (62.2%) of Pythium aphanidermatum causing rhizome rot of turmeric, as as compared to wild Trichoderma viride (58.8 %). Thus mutations can induce more antagonistic efficiency in Trichoderma viride for better results.
