Abstract
Mungbean seeds were coated with the conidial suspension of three Trichoderma spp. viz. T. harzianum, T. hamatum and T. viride in order to control seed-borne Macrophomina phaseolina. The treated seed including control treatment was evaluated in blotter and in pot with soil. All three species of Trichoderma spp. showed excellent control of seed-borne M. phaseolina. Moreover, they increased germination significantly including production of robust seedlings.
