The current research reveals the biocontrol potential of local Trichoderma isolates against the fungal pathogen Penicillium digitatum which causes green rot of Citrus fruit. In the present investigation, the isolates of Trichoderma spp. grown from locally collected soil samples were screened against the fungal pathogen Penicillium digitatum, which resulted into the substantial inhibition of the fungal phytopathogen. The soil samples collected from various local rhizosphere of Bihar state in India were inoculated on various nutritive media especially the Trichoderma Specific Media (TSM) and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media using the serial dilution technique. | Biological control of fungal plant pathogen Penicillium digitatum causing green rot of citrus fruit by local Trichoderma isolates from Bihar, India
