White rot of pea caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) is a serious menace in Kangra valley of Himachal Pradesh. The pathogen is polyphagous and soil borne, therefore, difficult to control through fungicides and host resistance. Because of the limitations in the use of fungicides as well as to minimize the pollution hazards, use of fungal antagonists as biocontrol agents against S. sclerotiorum was deemed very important. Keeping in view these aspects, present investigations were, undertaken.
