Abstract

Six fungal culture viz Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus glaucus, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergilus terreus, Rhizophus nigricans isolated from diseased portion of vegetables from Una region (Himanchal Pradesh). The results of this study identify Trichoderma harzianum as promising biological control agents for further testing against different saprophytic fungal forms for controlling post harvest diseases.
