The present investigation was aimed to check the efficacy of six phyto-extracts viz., ginger, turmeric, garlic, tulsi, eucalyptus, and aak at 5, 10 and 15 per cent by using poisoned food technique and six bioagents viz., Trichoderma hamatum, Trichoderma asperellum, Trichoderma harzianum-14, Pseudomonas fluorescens-4, Pseudomonas fluorescens -2, and Bacillus cereus using dual culture technique Among the six phyto-extracts tested garlic clove extract recorded maximum per cent inhibition, i.e., 51.52, 64.30 and 82.49 per cent at 5, 10 and 15 per cent extract, respectively, followed by ginger and turmeric and among six bioagent isolates Bacillus cereus showed maximum inhibition, i.e., 57.03 per cent followed by Trichoderma hamatum and Pseudomonas fluorescens-2.
