Paecilomyces species viz., four strains of Paecilomyces variotii, Paecilomyces lilacinus and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus were evaluated in vitro for biocontrol potential against Sclerotium rolfsii and Pythium aphanidermatum by dual culture plate method. Colonies of Paecilomyces species and Sclerotium rolfsii met each other but Sclerotium rolfsii later overgrew the colonies of tested fungi. whereas, growth of Pythium aphanidermatum inhibited by the Paecilomyces species.
