Fusarium sambucinum is one of the most aggressive fusarium specie initiating potato dry rot disease around the world and causes significant economic losses. To alleviate reliance on synthetic fungicides as their long-term use may lead to fungal resistance, biocontrol assays against threatening fungal diseases hold significant importance as an eco-friendly management approach. Antagonists are gradually becoming the hotspot and hold broad applicable prospects. Trichoderma harzianum,T. viride and T. asperellumwere screened for their biocontrol action against highly pathogenic isolates of F. sambucinum causing dry rot of potato in Pakistan. In vitro dual culture assay, observed after incubation at 27°C for one week, showed that all the three tested Trichoderma species considerably inhibited the radial growth of F. sambucinum as compared to the control treatment where no visible fungal mycelial inhibition was recorded. Our results revealed that using antagonists against globally threatening fungal diseases may enhance quality and production of important cash crops by generating handsome revenue.

Keywords: Fusarium sambucinum, Trichoderma harzianum, T. viride and T. asperellum
