Biologicalcontrol is an innovative, cost effective and eco-friendly approach for control ofrice diseases. Brown spot Trichoderma sp. is known for its mycoparasiticand antagonistic mechanism for the control of wide range of fungal disease inall types of crops. Trichoderma sp. is an ecofriendly organism that doesnot cause any harmful and side effect on human beings and domestic animals whenhandled. This research is based on the principle of biological control offungal diseases infection in rice plants by the use of T. harzianum and T.viride. Cultures of T. harzianum and T.viride were collectedand isolated from agricultural soil and were used in laboratory condition forthe control of rice diseases of brown spot. The present study used T.harzianum and T. viride as biocontrol agents to control ricedisease of brown spot, investigating the effectiveness of the control agents.Satisfactory results were obtained in both biocontrol agents against ricepathogen Bipolaris oryza.
