Abstract

Mango is one of the important fruit crops grown extensively in Gujarat. Mango trees were found severely affected by grey leaf blight disease (Pestalotia anacardii) at Horticulture farm of Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. So, present investigation was carried out to study the biological management measures against the disease under greenhouse conditions on cultivar Kesar. Among the various antagonists studied, P. fluorescens, T. viride and T. harzianum were found promising as potential biocontrol agents against grey leaf blight of mango.
