Abstract: Utilization of indigenous endophytes is considered as an environmentally-friendly and ecologically efficient strategy. A total 14 endophytic fungi belonging Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus sp., Curvularia lunata, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Chaetomium sp., Phomopsis sp.1, Macrophomina phaseolina, Nigrospora sphaerica, Penicillium sp., Paecilomyces lilacinus, Fusarium oxysporum, Phomopsis sp. 2 and Rhizoctonia sp. were isolated from soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) and were screened in vitro for the antagonistic activity against charcoal rot of soybean caused by M. phaseolina. In this fungal endophytic antagonists tested, Paecilomyces lilacinus was found most effective with highest mycelial growth inhibition (61.11%), followed by Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. with of 53.87% and 51.48% mycelial inhibition. These endophytes thus; could be efficient biological control agent in sustainable crop production and offer unique opportunity for crop protection and biological control.
