ABSTRACT
Penicillium fruit rot (Penicillium funiculosum) of aonla found predominant in orchards and markets causing substantial yield losses. The studies conducted on eco-friendly management of Penicillium fruit rot of aonla revealed that the Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluorescens found most effective antagonist in inhibiting the mycelial growth (100 & 93.05 %) of P. funiculosum in vitro. Both the bioagents were also found most effective in reducing the Penicillium fruit rot of aonla both in pre- (18.14 & 19.53 %) and post-inoculation (18.38 & 20.44 %) treatments at 7 d after inoculation, respectively.
Key words :
Aonla, antagonists, fruit rot, growth inhibition, Penicillium funiculosum.
