The present study was undertaken to find out the antagonist potential of six different Trichoderma spp. isolated from forest soils of central India against M. phaseolina under in-vitro conditions. The results revealed that all Trichoderma isolates are fast-growing and showed considerable reduction in the growth of M. phaseolina. One of the isolates Trichoderma hunua (Isolate number: TD16) showed the maximum inhibition (80.38%) and mycoparasitism against M. phaseolina. T. hunua is investigated first time for its antagonistic potential and due to its excellent inhibition potential, it can be used as a promising multifunctional bio-fertilizer and bio-stimulant in the future.
