Abstract:
A Field experiment was conducted during the
Rabi season of 2017 at the main research field of department of horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad U. P. (India). To
study the
“Biological control of fusarium wilt of tomato (
Solanum lycopersicum L.) By antagonistic fungi.” Under
In Vitro, maximum radial growth was observed in
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici (90mm) and
least radial growth was observed in
Trichoderma harzianum (41.99mm). Among the three treatments
viz., T1-
Trichoderma harzianum, T2-
Trichoderma viridae and T3-
Aspergillus Niger. Maximum percent growth inhibition was recorded in
Trichoderma harzianum (52.60%), which is followed by
Trichoderma viridae percent growth inhibition (47.94%) and
Aspergillus Niger percent growth inhibition (38.90%). Under
In Vivo, twelve treatment
i.e (T1) control, (T2) -
F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, (T3) -
Trichoderma harzianum, (T4) -
Trichoderma viridae, (T5) -
Aspergillus niger, (T6) -
F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici + T. harzanium, (T7) –
F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici + T. viridae, (T8) -
F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici + A. niger, (T9) -
T. harzanium + T. viridae, (T10) -
T. harzanium + A. niger, (T11) –
T. viridae + A. niger, (T12) -
F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici + T. harzanium + T. viridae + A. niger replicated three times each were carried out in the plot in Randomized block design. More over T12 treatment (
F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici + T. harzanium + T. viridae + A. Niger) showed better result followed by T10 and T9.
