Biological control of plant pathogens through antagonistic microorganisms is a promising alternative to the use of chemicals. One of the critical obstacles in biological control of plant pathogens is the paucity of methods for mass culturing and applying the antagonists to the soil. Mukhopadhyay (1987) has comprehensively reviewed the various growth media used for mass multiplication of Trichoderma spp. The present investigations were carried out to identify suitable substrates among the agricultural by-products and wastes for mass multiplication of Trichoderma viride Pers. Fr. and T. harzianum Rifai.
