Macrotyloma uniflorum, commonly referred to as horse gram, is a resilient legume belonging to the Fabaceae family and is extensively cultivated in India, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The fungal pathogen Cercospora cruenta is responsible for leaf spot disease, which can lead to significant yield losses in horse gram by causing leaf spot formation. This study seeks to evaluate the in vitro antagonistic potential of six known biological agents against C. cruenta in order to identify promising candidates for integrated disease management programs. Three different techniques were employed for the evaluation: dual culture, pathogen-at-periphery, and pathogen-at-centre methods. The antagonists examined include Trichoderma spp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Chaetomium globosum. The results clearly indicate the efficacy of various fungal bioagents against the pathogen, with Trichoderma harzianum showing the highest inhibition rate. Additionally, Pseudomonas fluorescens demonstrated significant antifungal properties. These findings highlight the potential of Trichoderma as a highly promising candidate for biological control measures against this disease. Further studies are needed to evaluate and optimise application strategies for sustainable disease management.
