All the fungicides at different concentrations were significantly inhibitory to the fungal growth as compared to control. The cent percent growth inhibition was recorded in carbendazim and Propiconazole at 100 to 1000 ppm). The next effective fungicide was Metalaxyl (500 to1000ppm), benlate (750 and 1000ppm) which were also inhibited cent percent growth of fungus. Trichoderma harzianum isolate 1 (Jammu) showed strong antagonistic effect, followed by T. harzianum isolate 3 (Kathua). The phytoextracts screened in vitro by poisoned food technique against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri revealed that Azadirachta indica leaves extract showed maximum growth inhibition of fungus followed by Allium sativum.
