Among the six fungicides tested chlorothaloni) (75% WP) was found to be safe to two Trichoderma viride isolates (T2 and T4) up to 250 ppm as it caused less inhibition of 42.35 and 44.4% respectively and effective against Fusarium solani as it showed 62.82% inhibition. Therefore chlorothalonil (75% WP) can be applied along with the Trichodermaviride isolates up to 250 ppm in integrated management. Mancozeb (75% WP) was found to be safe to Trichoderma viride isolates and less effective against Fusarium solani. Carbendazim (50% WP) propiconazole (25% EC), tridemorph (80% EC) and 1 itraconazole (5% EC) were found to be effective against Fusarium solani and not safe to Trichoderma viride isolates.
