Abstract:
Fruit rot of tomato caused by Alternaria solani and Colletotrichum capsici is an important diseases of tomato inflicting heavy losses. The present investigation was carried out to test the in vitro efficacy of bioagents. In A. solani, among the nine bioagents T. harzianum resulted with highest mycelial growth inhibition (95.56%), followed by T. hamatum (94.08%), A. niger (92.59%), M. anisopliae (90.00%). Whereas, least inhibition of test fungus was recorded in B. subtilis (73.70%). However, in C. capsici, Trichoderma koningii resulted with highest mycelial growth inhibition (92.48%), followed by T. harzianum and T. hamatum (92.41%). Whereas, least inhibition of test fungus was recorded in B. subtilis (65.03%).
