Abstract: Biocontrol can also be defined as utilization of one living organism to restrict another. These biological control agents are environment friendly and cause no side effect. It is cheaper than any other method, these agents does not cause toxicity to plants. It cause no effect in the soil and leave no residual problems. It increases crop yield and are easy to manage and apply to the target. To reduce the deleterious effect of agrochemicals an experiment was conducted to study the effect of biocontrol agents on okra for the selection of putative strain at the Department of Seed Science & Technology, Chauras campus, H.N.B Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand, India. To evaluate different parameters with biocontrol agents in both laboratory and field condition Biocontrol agents including Bacillus-218, Pseudomonas strain FP37 and S90 singly and in combinations were used for seed treatment in Okra. Effects were examined by observing Germination, Root length, Shoot length, Dry weight, Fresh weight, Seedling length. The laboratory results are presented in Table 1 and the field results are presented in Table 2 and Table 3 Fig.1-3. In both laboratory and field condition treatments shows better result over control.
