Efficacy of bioagents and fungicides against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi

Abstract

Studies were carried out to evaluate the bio-efficacy of twelve fungicides and nine bio-agents against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi under in vitro conditions. Among fungal and bacterial bioagents tested, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Streptomyces viridobrunneus and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were found to be most effective in limiting radially growth of pathogen. In case of different fungicides tested, Tricyclazole 75 WP in all concentration was found to be the effective fungicide with complete inhibition of the radial growth.
