Description

Trichoderma species are well known for their antagonistic activity against number of phytopathogens. They restrict the growth of pathogens by variety of means like parasitism, release of antibiotic volatile and non-volatile metabolites. The studies aimed to screen and evaluate the growth inhibition potential of six Trichoderma species against Botryodiplodia palmarum under laboratory conditions. The results revealed 37.56-61.95% growth inhibition of B. palmarum in dual culture, 12.59-43.46% and 4.38-78.08% respectively by the release of volatile and non-volatile metabolites. The growth inhibition was increased with period of incubation and concentration of culture filtrate of Trichoderma species in the culture media. Trichoderma harzianum was most effective among the selected species.
