The antagonistic effect of 7 fungi, 1 yeast and 1 bacteria (A. alternata, Bacillus sp., C. globosum, C. herbarum, Fusarium sp.
Penicillium sp., P. lilacinus, R. rubra and T. hamatum) was tested using the dual culture technique. Agar discs (6 mm diameter) of the fungal endophyte were placed 3.5 cm away from a Dtr on 9 cm Petri dishes containing 2% PDA. The discs of the endophytes and the pathogen were taken from cultures of 10-day-old and 7- day-old respectively.
