Among the eight antagonistic microorganisms tested for their efficacy in reducing Fusarium oxyporum f. sp. cubense, Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens were equaly effective under laboratory conditions. The field trails conducted during rabi 1991 and kharif 1992 revealed that dipping of suckers in the suspension of P. fluorescens (106 CFU/ml) or T. viride (106 CFU/ml) along with the application of 500g wheat bran:saw dust inoculum (1:3) of the respective biocontrol agent three months after planting, effectively reduced the Fusarium wilt incidence and produced the highest yield.
