Abstracts: Disease controlling potential of Trichoderma strains are evaluated in vivo against collar rot in chickpea. Ten Trichoderma strains (T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T18,T28) were taken among which nine were Trichoderma harzianum and one Trichoderma viride (T18) .All strains of Trichoderma harzianum / Trichodermaviride was superior over control for disease controlling parameters i. e mortality percentage , no. of pods per / plant ,yield (quintal/hectare), yield (g/plot),Test weight. Plant population / plot were counted from each plot after 25 days of sowing Trichoderma strains T18 and T28 were more effective showing higher degree of parasitism on Sclerotium rolfsii under field against collar rot in chickpea.
Keywords: Chickpea, Sclerotium rolfsii ,Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride
