Chickpea is one of the major rabi pulse crop grown in India. It’s is a rich source of protein, minerals and vitamins for human nutrition and straw is also valued animal feed. The maximum inhibits the radial growth (16.33mm and 76.66%), (26mm and 62.85%) and (34.00mm and 51.42%) at 30, 20 and 10% concentration respectively against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cicei was showed in Neem extract. Onion extract was least effective which showed 48.33, 49.00 and 58.66 mm radial growth and 30.95, 30.00 and 16.20% inhibits mycelial zones at 30, 20 and 10% concentration respectively. Out of the five fungal antagonists tested Trichoderma viride was found to be most effective and recorded least mycelial growth (16.66mm) with highest mycelial inhibition (74.36%) of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri. The least effective fungal bio-agent were Trichoderma verens (22.33mm and 65.64%) and Trichoderma hamatum (31.33mm and 51.80%) over control. The bacterial antagonist Bacillus subtilis was comparatively least effective than the fungal bio-agent and observed (38.33mm and 41.03%) against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri as compared to untreated control. The fungal growth range varied from 16.66 to 38.33 mm and these were showed all the bio-agents suppressed the colony growth of the pathogen.
