In the present investigation potential fungal and bacterial antagonists were tested under laboratory and field conditions against the phytopathogen Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinans Sheldon, causing Pokkah Boeng disease of sugarcane. Different strains of fungal anatagonists viz; Trichoderma spp. (strains TCMS36, TCMS43, Th3, TCMS9, Th14) and bacterial antagonists viz; Pseudomonas fluorescens (strains Psf173 and Psf02) and Bacillus sp. were tested against the pathogen under in vitro conditions by employing dual culture technique and volatile assay. The results from dual culture revealed that TCMS36 showed the maximum radial growth inhibition i.e., 73.33 per cent followed by Th14 (69.01%), Psf02 (68.33%), Th3(66.04%),TCMS43 (64.7%), Bacillus sp. (63.95%) and TCMS9(63.74%). Volatile assay depicted that the maximum radial growth inhibition was found in TCMS36(70.01%) followed by TCMS9 (60.10%), Th3 (57.25%), Th14 (55.36%), Psf02 (50.83%) and Bacillus sp. (51.79%), while minimum growth inhibition was observed in Psf173 (40.49%). Further studies were conducted in field, where, Th 14, Psf02 and the consortium of both (Th 14+Psf 02) were tested through sett treatment. The minimum disease incidence was observed in the treatment where setts were treated with P. fluorescens (Psf02) followed by consortium (Th 14+Psf 02) and Th 14 i.e. 0.92%, 1.51% and 5.53%, respectively. The findings from research conclude that the fungal and bacterial antagonist strains can exert an inhibitory effect on the radial growth of Fusarium sp. as well as reduce the disease incidence in field. Application of these antagonists in field could be a better management tool without having to depend on hazardous chemicals.Keywords

A glasshouse and field experiments were conducted by using Trichoderma harzianum (Th 43), Pseudomonas spp. (Pf 173) and Jas Mycorrhizal (AMF) for plant growth promotion and management of ischolar_main rot and wilt disease of tomato. There were eight treatment combinations for glass house as well as field experiment. In glasshouse, maximum germination (91%), shoot and ischolar_main length (40.83 cm, 9.79 cm), fresh and dry shoot weight (152.00 g, 28.38 g), fresh and dry ischolar_main weight (9.33 g, 3.90 g), plant vigour index (4301.45) respectively was recorded in treatment combination of Th 43 + Pf 173 + AMF. In experimental field, maximum reduction of disease over control (72.16%) was found in treatment combination of T. harzianum (Th 43) + Pseudomonas spp. (Pf 173) + Jas Mycorrhiza (AMF). The maximum yield of tomato (486.70 q/ha) was also recorded in same treatment combination.Keywords

The concept of development of microbial consortia for bio-control relies on the fact that bioagents under natural habitats live in communities with some benefits for plants. Application of bioagents in a consortium may improve efficacy, reliability and consistency of the bioagents even under diverse soil and environmental conditions. Diversity in biocontrol mechanisms offered by each bioagent in consortium may help in enhancing disease suppressiveness and may also strengthen the capabilities of the partners in an additive or synergistic manner. Till now no guideline has been published for the evaluation of bioagents to test their compatibility before developing bioagent consortium. In the present studies compatibility among biocontrol potential Trichoderma-Pseudomonas and Trichoderma-Trichoderma isolates was studied by dual culture, mixed formulations and using cell free cultures. In dual culture all the combinations (14 no.) were found compatible with each other as no isolate inhibited the growth of one-another i.e. absence of inhibition zone. All the mixed formulations of potential Trichoderma-Pseudomonas isolates (8 no.) were found compatible with each other as they were growing simultaneously on PDA without antagonizing the growth of other or formation of inhibition zone in their combinations. The cell free cultures of each Trichoderma and Pseudomonas isolates tested with each other using Food Poison Technique showed synergistic effects on their fresh mycelial weight among some combinations while majority showed no significant differences with their checks. Further all the combinations (14 no.) were tested for their effects on seed germination and vigour index of chickpea in glasshouse. All the combinations showed significantly better seed germination while some combinations viz. Th14+Psf173, TCMS36+Psf173,Th17+Th19,Th17+Psf2,Th17+TCMS36 and Th14+Psf2 showed better plant vigour index (43.5 to 44.9% ) as compared to their checks (28.8 to 41.5%).These guidelines could be used before developing bioagent consortium and evaluation in field for crop health management.
