Abstract

Brinjal (Solanum melongina L.) is an economically important crop grown in India, however the plant is susceptible to different of fungal diseases, resulting in low crop production. The pathogenic fungus was isolated from diseased plant parts in this research and identified as Fusarium solani f. sp. melongenae based on morphological and cultural features. To control the soil-borne diseases in brinjal with the use of chemicals under in field condition is hazardous. For eco-friendly and sustainable management of the disease the excellent potential of effective Bio control Trichoderma were used. Potential antagonists Trichoderma's antifungal properties have been observed in various of contexts as a means of controlling a wide range of soil-borne diseases. Trichoderma secrete chitinases, proteases which degrade Fusarium solani fungal cell walls to liberate the oligomers, causing exochitinases and to begin myco parasitism strategies. To examine the antagonistic activity of Trichoderma dual c
