Effect of Volatile and Non Volatile Compounds of Trichoderma spp. against Soil Borne Diseases of Chickpea

Abstract

Biological control represents an important approach of agricultural biotechnology for controlling many fungal plant pathogens. Trichoderma spp. are the most promising and effective bioagents against many plant pathogenic fungi. In present paper, twenty Trichoderma isolates were isolated from chickpea rhizosphere soil and screened for their efficacy against soil borne plant pathogens namely R. bataticola, F. oxysporum ciceri and S. rolfsii. In chickpea the isolates ATPU 1, ATPP 6, KNN 4, KNO 2, KNPG 3 and KNP 1 were most efficient in the production of volatile and non-volatile compounds
