The use of Hypocrea spp. or Trichoderma spp. as biocontrol agents in this studyfor the management of R. lignosus is encouraged.Besides pollution of the environment by uses of synthetic fungicides, there are reports of development of resistance in pests and diseases (Verheye 2010). Use of biological controls in plant disease management assumes special significance by being an ecofriendly and cost effective strategy, which can be used in integration with each other or other control strategies for a greater levels of protection with sustained crop yields.
