Abstract: Present research was carried out to understand antagonistic potentiality of six native Trichoderma spp. against Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae causing Aggregate sheath spot of rice. Dual culture technique revealed the inhibition percentages of R. oryzae-sativae by T. asperellum (KU933475), T. koningiopsis (KU904460), Hypocrea lixii (KX0113223), T. harzianum (KU904458), T. ovalisporum (KU904456) and T. atroviridae (KU933472) of 58.43%, 68.23%, 60.0%, 72.94%, 64.31%, and 70.19% respectively. Bell’s scale study showed class III category by Trichoderma spp and class II showed by T. harzianum (KU904458) against Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae. Among the different biological agents Trichoderma harzianum is the most effective one for reducing rapid growth of the pathogen. Further, all Trichoderma isolates significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of the pathogen.
