Abstract: In an attempt to develop effective biocontrol system for the management of pokkah boeng caused by Fusarium moniliformae, five isolates of Trichoderma harzianum viz., Th-5, Th-9, Th-10, Th-28 and Th-32 were tested for their antagonistic potential against F. moniliformae. Results recorded that the strains were found effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth. Maximum percent inhibition was recorded in Th-28 (42.94%) followed by Th-32 (41.17%), Th-10 (39.21%), Th-9 (31.17%) and least in Th-5 (30.00%) as compared to control. The little difference in percent inhibition of mycelial growth indicates the difference in their efficacy against the pathogen.
