Abstract: A total of thirty five bacterial endophytes were isolated from apparently healthy groundnut leaves (7), stem (16) and root (12) and these endophytes were evaluated against major fungal pathogens of groundnut viz., Sclerotium rolfsii and Rhizoctonia solani by dual culture technique and against Puccinia arachidis by spore germination technique. Among them, SBDwSo-9, RBBeJa-3 and RBHaBn-11 showed the maximum inhibition of S. rolfsii (50.59 %), R. solani (32.55 %) and P. arachidis (69.61 %).
