Abstract

Leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata is one of the major diseases of Aloe vera and is prevalent in almost all the Aloe vera growing countries. The present study was carried out to test efficacy of antagonist and fungicides in inhibiting the pathogen under in vitro condition. Among the five strains of Trichoderma harzianum viz. Th-2, Th-4, Th-6, Th-9 and Th-12 tested. Maximum per cent inhibition in mycelial growth was recorded in Th-12 (30%) followed by Th-2 (25) while minimum inhibition (16.25) was observed Th-9. Out of five fungicides tested in vitro, Hexaconazole and Carbendazim was found to be highly effective showing complete inhibition at 100 ppm. Whereas, minimum inhibition (7.50) was recorded in Propiconazole.
