Abstract: The effect of seven commercial pesticides, Bavistin 50% W.P., Vitavax 75% W.P., Captan 50% W.P., (Fungicides), Chloropyriphos 20 E.C., Monocrotophos 20 E.C., Thimet 10 G (Insecticides), 2,4-D 80% W.P. (Weedicide), in 1000 ppm, 100 ppm, 10 ppm and 1 ppm was studied on growth of Trichoderma viride by poisoned food technique. The above commercial
formulations exhibited varying effects on growth of fungus ranging from inhibitory or neutral, antisporulant to stimulatory. Captan, Monocrotophos and lower doses of Vitavax, Chloropyriphos and Phorate can be used in combination with Trichoderma viride in IDM of selected pathogen.
Keywords: Trichoderma viride, compatibility, pesticides.
