Abstract
Totally 24 species belonged to 20 genera were isolated and identified from banana field soil. A preliminary screening of all the species isolated from soils were made for antifungal (antagonistic) activity against Fusarium oxysporum, a known soil borne fungal pathogen. Among the fungi promising activity of Trichoderma viride inhibited the pathogenic fungi for the maximum inhibition in dual culture and food poisoning technique were performed. The maximum percentage of inhibition against Aspergillus niger, followed by A. awamori, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. terreus, Curvularia lunata A. niger, Memnoniella sp., Penicillium citrinum, Trichoderma viride, and T. harzianum against F. oxysporum. were observed whereas, culture filtrates of fungi like Aspergillus awamori, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. terreus, A. niger, Curvularia lunata, Memnoniella sp., Penicillium citrinum, Trichoderma viride and T. harzianum showed the inhibitory effect of different concentration 5, 10, 15 and 20% were determined against F. oxysporum. However, the maximum inhibitory effect was observed at 20 percent concentration of the cell free filtrate of Trichoderma viride against F. oxysporum. The investigation was carried out and of results were discussed in detail.
