Trichoderma is an important biocontrol agent of several soil borne plant pathogens. The antagonistic ability of a biocontrol agent was determined by its physiological state so that change in physiological or genetical condition could alter the antagonism. Genetic modification using mutagenesis offers the potential for producing improved bio protection is likely to enhance their biocontrol capabilities against soil borne pathogen. Molecular techniques are important analytical tool to characterized genetic variability and diagnosis of microbial population. Molecular variability of Trichoderma mother culture and its mutants was studied by using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). 20 RAPD primer of OPA series were tested, of which 14 primers produced 72 scorable bands among them 52 bands were polymorphic and level of polymorphism was upto 72%. On the basis of dendrogram, the tested cultures were clearly divided into 2 groups. First group i.e. cluster A included 4 mutants TvM-5, TvM-3, TvM-1 TvM-2 and mother culture TvMC. Second group i.e. cluster B included only one mutant i.e. TvPM-4.
