Abstract: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is one of the important fruit crops grown in India. Fruit rot of pomegranate caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. and Sacc.,has becoming a major limiting factor in cultivation of pomegranate in some regions of India. The present investigation was carried out to test the in vitro bioefficacy of different bioagents against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing fungal fruit rot in pomegranate were carried out in the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Latur during the year 2017-18. Among the different fungal and bacterial bioagents T. hamatum was found most effective with least mycelial growth (11.63 mm) and numerically highest mycelial inhibition (87.25%), followed by T. virens (15.46 mm and 82.73%), T. harzianum (15.76 mm and 82.55%), T. koningii (19.56 mm and 78.84%), A. niger (20.10 mm and 78.14%), T. asperellum (32.00 mm and 64.48%), B. subtilis (52.50 mm and 41.92%) and P. fluorescens (57.76 mm and 34.74%). The bioagents were evaluated in vitro against the pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing fungal fruit rot in pomegranate by dual culture technique. Among the in vitro evaluated all bioagents T. hamatum, T. virens, T. harzianum and T. koningii were found more efficient while A. niger, T. asperellum, B. subtilis and P. fluorescens were least effective against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides major fungal pathogen causing fruit rot in pomegranate.
