The experiment was established for evaluate the self life period and biological efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum of different urban waste materials i.e. Sugarcane baggage, Peeled potato, Cow dung, Waste tea leaf and Farm Yard Manures. These all materials are easily available in local area. Mycelial growth, conidial production and biomass yield of Trichoderma harzianum was examined the substrate had gives significant difference in growth rate, conidial population and viability. Waste tea leaf in solid state (100g) inoculated with 50 ml of Trichoderma harzianum (developed on Potato Dextrose medium) was found significantly best in comparison to others substrate in taking minimum days for growth of mycelia (9.2 days), maximum number of spore production (156.3) and maximum days self life @ 30ºC (18.5 days). Present study deals with use of household waste materials for assessment and production of mass quantity of bio-control agent on cheap substrates and develops effective production methodology which can be easily adopted by the farmers.
