Abstract
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L), wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri was first reported from
India in 1918. ln the recent years, the biological control has received a worldwide attention and is being integrated
effectively with other pesticides. The efficacy of two species of fungal bioagents such as Trichoderma viride,
Trichodermo harzianum and two sps of bacterial bioagents such as Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis
were evaluated against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri in vitro condition using Dual Culture Technique. The highest
per cent growth of inhibition of observed Trichoderma harzianum (76.66%) followed by Bacillus subtilis (63.14%).
The lowest growth inhibition was observed in Pseudomonas fluorescens (53.52%).
