Sacc. Under laboratory screening by dual culture methodology, maximum inhibition of radial growth of R. &lt;em&gt;solani&lt;/em&gt; (61.7%) was observed with isolate Tr-21, while isolate Tr-34 showed maximum inhibition of mycelial growth of F. &lt;em&gt;solani&lt;/em&gt; (46.4%), Based on the results of &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; screening, 7 isolates (Tr-5, 14, 17, 21, 28, 34&amp;amp;45) were selected for glasshouse studies. Talc formulation of the 7 isolates was prepared and isolates were applied as both seed and soil treatment in glasshouse studies. Although all the 7 isolates significantly reduced the incidence of root rot as compared to check, two isolates of T. &lt;em&gt;harzianum&lt;/em&gt; viz., Tr-34 and Tr-14 were found most effective in glasshouse evaluation showing only 20.8 and 23.4 per cent root- rot, respectively, These isolates were statistically at par with seed treatment with carbendazim, which showed 21,1 percent root-rot. Treatment with isolate Tr-34 also resulted in significantly higher germination per cent and better plant vigour as compared to untreated control.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Biological Control}, author={Joshi, Deeksha and Hooda, K.
