Abstract

Biocontrol potential of Trichoderma harzianum and Pochonia chlamydosporia was evaluated against Heterodera cajani in pigeonpea in microplots for three years. Among the biocontrol agents tested application of T. harzianum @ 5 kg/ha plus P. chlamydosporia @ 2 kg/ha significantly increased the pigeonpea yield (560.24 g/plant) and reduced the cyst nematode population (52.73).
