ABSTRACT
Seven each of botanicals and four each of bioagents were evaluated in vitro against Ceratocystis fimbriata, the causal agent of wilt of pomegranate. Among four bioagents T. harzianum and T. viride showed maximum inhibition of the test fungus (100%) followed by P. fluorescens (42.33%), within four days and completely inhibited the perithecium production as well as grows over the pathogen.Among the plant extracts Allium sativum (32.96%) was found effective in inhibiting mycelial growth and Zingiber officinale on par (32.90%). Least growth inhibition of pathogen was obtained in Eucalyptus (11.47%).
Key words: Botanicals, Bioagents, Wilt, Ceratocystis fimbriata,Trichoderma harzianum, Allium sativum
