Chickpea is an important pulse crop of India. Its productivity is quite low due to several biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the biotic stress disease are the major constraints. Wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri has been considered as devastating one to cause up to 10 per cent loss in yield every year. For eco-friendly and sustainable management of the disease, two species of antagonists (Trichoderma viride 01PP and Trichoderma harzianum Th azad) and chemical fungicide (Bavstin @ 0.2%) were evaluated against the pathogen. Two bioagents Trichoderma harzianum Th azad and Trichoderma viride 01PP were evaluated for their efficacy on colony growth by dual culture plate method. The results showed that the two bio-agents suppressed the colony growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, which ranged between 53.38-57.99 per cent the suppression of the growth of the pathogen was ..
