Trichoderma viride, the plant growth promoting fungi and increasing the soil fertility significantly controlled ischolar_main rot disease caused by Macrophomina phaseolina. Use of Trichoderma viride along with neem cake produced the higher germination percentage and shoot length, respectively as compared to their separate use. Soil amendment with neem cake and seed treatment with TNAU isolate of T. viride significantly reduced the per cent disease incidence. Among the treatments, pots received with antagonist and organic amendments recorded lesser disease incidence than control.
