Physical factors like pH, temperature, light spectra influence on the growth and sporulation of Trichoderma. Hence, the effect of these physical factors on bio-control activity of Trichoderma psedokoningii against Rhizoctonia bataticola was tested The inhibition ingrowth of Rhizoctonia bataticola was evaluated using antagonistic potential at different temperatures, pH and light spectra. The pH 6.5 and 25°C temperature were found to be most suitable for biocontrol activity of T.pasudokoningii against R. bataticola.
