Abstract

Three antagonists T. viride, T. harzianumand Pseudomonas fluorescence and five fungicides carbendazim, captan, dithane Z-78, thiophanate methyl, thiram were tested against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. udum in vitro. T. viride was best in inhibiting the growth of pathogen by 73.6 per cent. Among the fungicides carbendazim, completely inhibited the growth of pathogen at all concentrations (100, 250, 500 ppm).
