Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to find compatible nature between different biocontrol agents such as Bacillus firmus, Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma asperellum, Purpureocillium lilacinum along with organic amendment neem cake. The results exhibited that among different bacterial biocontrol agents B. firmus, B. subtilis were found to be compatible with each other and fungal biocontrol agents Trichoderma asperellum, Purpureocillium lilacinum were found to be compatible with each other whereas response for fungal and bacterial biocontrol agents B. firmus B. subtilis were found to show incompatible reaction with P. lilacinum and in contrast the compatible reaction was observed between B. firmus, B. subtilis, T. asperellum. The findings also stated that all the biocontrol agents were found to be compatible with neem cake.
