INTRODUCTION
Among the greatest hazards in the crop production, diseasescaused by phytopathogens are one of the major threats tosustainable food production.
For combating phytopathogens, many successful measuresincluding chemical control have been developedThese chemicals have resulted in a variety of harmful andundesirable effects on man, wildlife and ecosystem.
Biological control seems to be a potent means of reducing thedamage caused by phytopathogens which can be achieved bymaking use of various types of microbes including bacteria,fungi and viruses.

W hy use biological control?
Biological control agents are ± Expensive ± Labor intensive ±
Host specificChemical pesticides are:
± cost-effective ± easy to apply ±
Broad spectrum

Contd.W ILL:
Chemical pesticides ± Implicated in ecological, environmental, and human health problems ± Require yearly treatments ± Broad spectrum
Toxic to both beneficial and pathogenic speciesBUT:
Biological control agents ± Non-toxic to human ± Not a water contaminant concern ± Once colonized may last for years ± Host specific
Only effect one or few species

Organic farming is becoming popular due to its eco-friendlynature and quality of the produce. The application of
buttermilk is one of the organic inputs being used in theprocess of organic farming to control some of the diseases.The microbial diversity of this organic input has been studiedin the dept. of Microbiology, where various types of microbes
possessing some of the biocontrol properties have beenisolated.
One of such microbes which is gram positive, spore formerand exhibiting fairly a good amount of biocontrol activityagainst some of the fungal pathogens has also been isolated.This particular indigenous microbe needs further systematicevaluation of its biocontrol potential with regards to the typeof metabolites involved in biocontrol activity.

OBJECTIVES:
To examine the antagonistic activity of indigenous bacterial isolate against differentphytopathogenic fungi and nematode
To optimize different parameters to augmentproduction of biocontrol agent(s)To purify and characterize the biocontrolcompounds produced by the aboveindigenous isolate

The following plant pathogenic bacterium and fungi will be usedin the present investigation:
Plant pathogenic bacterium:
Plant pathogenic fungi: Rhizoctonia solaniSclerotium rolfsii
Fusarium oxysporumColletorichum truncatum Alternaria brassica

A gainst phytopathogenic fungi
The bacterial isolate will be tested for its antagonistic activity against
five fungal pathogens, viz., Rhizoctonia solani , Sclerotium rolfsii,Fusarium oxysporum , colleotricium tructam and Alternaria brassicaby dual culture technique (Ganesan and Gnanamanickam, 1987).
Each fungal pathogen will be grown on a PD A plate till it covers thewhole surface of the agar. W ith the help of a sterile cork borer, a discof fungal growth will be taken and placed at the center of a fresh PD A
plate.24 hour old culture of bacterial isolate will be then streaked on one
side of the fungal disc.The plates will be kept for incubation at 30°C for 2-7 days.
Inhibition of growth of fungal pathogen will be then recorded withrespect to control plate, inoculated with the fungal pathogen only.

Against nematode pathogen
The culture filtrate and the whole cell culture of thebacterial isolate will be examined for their ability toimmobilize or kill root knot nematode, M eloidogyneincognita , under laboratory condition (Jayakumar et al .2002).

100 ml of 24 hour old bacterial suspension
25 ml will becentrifuged at 8000 rpm
for 10 minutes
Supernatant will befiltered
Filterate will be used forbioassay against root knot
nematode
Remaining broth culturewill be used as whole
cell culture for bioassay.

Bioassay
The egg masses of root knot nematode, M eloidogyne incognita will be made to hatch in to juveniles .Populationof juveniles present in water suspension will be counted under stereomicroscope and used for bioassay test
Three ml of the nematode suspension containingabout 50 juveniles will be taken in a petri plate to
which 10 ml of culture filtrate will be added andkept for 72 hours for incubation.
At 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours of incubation, observations for immobilized and killednematodes will be recorded in each plate.
The revival test will also be conducted by transferring the immobilized nematodes into
fresh water to confirm mortality in both the sets of plates
In another set of platescontaining nematode
juveniles, 10 ml of whole cell culture will be
added.
The platescontainingnematode
suspension andplain broth willserve as control

The following parameters will be optimize to augmentproduction of biocontrol agent(s) using Responsesurface methodology:
Carbon sourcesNitrogen sources
PH
AerationThe partial identification of biocontrol agent(s) will be
done using suitable solvent systems by TLC and HPLCbased detection methods.
MALDI/ LC/ MS/ GC-MS or NMR based study will bedone to elucidate the structure of biocontrol agent(s)
.
