Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is one of the most important spice crop cultivated in India. Assessment of in vitro bioefficacy of bioagents alone /consortia in turmeric against P. aphanidrematum revealed that, maximum per cent germination was recorded in treatment consortium of T1 to T14 (98.0), whereas minimum per cent germination was recorded 36.0 (control). The average mortality recorded with all the treatments and it was maximum in untreated control (74.0) followed by Beauveria bassiana (52.0) and Aspergillus niger (42.0). Minimum per cent average mortality was observed 3.0 (consortium 4) followed by 4.0 (Carbendezim @ 0.1 %) and 6.0 (consortium 3). The reduction in average mortalities (pre and post) was highest in consortium 4 (96.06) followed by Carbendezim @ 0.1% (94.49) and consortium of 3 (92.11). Whereas lowest per cent reduction in post emergence seedling mortality was recorded by Beauveria bassiana (29.17) followed by Aspergillus niger (40.37) and Nomuraea rileyi (44.85).
