SHAHZAD Publishing Date: 2005 E-ISSN: 0255-7576 Volume 23 Issue 1 ABSTRACT: Soil amendment with rice grain inocula of Paecilomyces lilacinus and Talaromyces flavus showed a significant suppression in colonization of mungbean and soybean roots by Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani. Paecilomyces lilacinus also showed a reduction in Root-Knot Index (RKI) whereas T. flavus was ineffective.
