| Abstract: | Tagetes minuta, Artimisia annua, Mentha spp, Matricaria chamomile, Geranium, Rosemarinus officinalis, Cymbopogon maritinii, C.flexuosus, Centella asiatica, Catharanthus roseus, etc. are some of the import ant medicinal and aromatic plants grown in India. These plants suffer from a number of soil -borne diseases, viz. collar rot of Mentha caused by Sclerotium rolfsii and Fusarium sp ., Scierotinia rot of Artimisia annua caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum , stem rot of geranium caused by Rhizoctonia solani, collar rot of Pogostemon cablin and Tagetes sp. caused by Sclerotium rolfsi, etc. These diseases cause the rotting of stem and root system. Chemical management of these diseases is not only quite costly but also harmful. Therefore, attempts have been made to use the indigenous isolates of Triclwderma and Gliocladium spp for the management of these diseases. The nature and mechanism of these biocontrol agents are presented. The results arc quite encouraging and presented in this paper. |
