            <abstract>
                <p>Two major fungal pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and
Rhizoctonia solani were isolated from infected root, collar and stem regions of tomato
plants. A total of 25 rhizobacterial isolates showing Gram –ve reaction were isolated
from the rhizosphere of tomato fields. Six selected isolates, based on their biocontrol
activity against the test pathogens showed growth at 40C but there was no growth at 410C.
The maximum growth of these isolates was at pH 7.0 and they isolates showed positive
reactions for levan formation, phosphate solubilization, gelatin liquefaction, oxidase
test and catalase test, that confirmed the identity of the isolates as Pseudomonas
fluorescens. Under in vitro conditions, carbendazim showed 100 per cent inhibition of
mycelial growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and R. solani at all the tested
concentrations. Carbendazim also showed maximum plant vigour (1501.54 %), followed
by isolate I-23 (1453.77 %).
