Trichoderma harzianum gave the maximum inhibition (63.26%) of mycelial growth of the pathogen in vitro with prominent inhibtion zone (4.17 mm). Among botanicals, garlic extract and Nemazal were found biocidal to Sclerotinia rot pathogen. Under field condition, application of Nemazal and T. harzianum had a significant effect on reduction in disese incidence to 30.49 and 40.62 per cent, respectively in comparison to the control (55.77%).
