Abstract : Out of fourteen medicinal plant leaf extracts, Citrus and Eucalyptus inhibited significantly the radial growth of C.infundibulifera.. Trichoderma viride was  not effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth of C.infundibulifera. Complete inhibition of radial growth of C.infundibulifera was observed with M2 and Sixer in-vitro evaluation  of  fungicides and out of 66 varieties of soybean screened, 7 varieties showed  Absolutly resistance 43 were Highly resistance and 16 were  found  Moderately resistance. 

Keywords:  Choanephora infundibulifera,  medicinal leaf extract, fungicides, bioagent,  screening
