Actinomycetes isolates were collected from different redgram growing areas of Tamil Nadu and they were tested for their antagonistic activity against Fusarium udum and Macrophomina phaseolina. Among the tested isolates of Actinomycetes AC (5) reported highest 82.85 per cent reduction of mycelial growth of Fusarium udum and 85.13 per cent reduction of mycelial growth of Macrophomina phaseolina under in vitro condition.
