N2  - An actinomycete identified as Streptomyces lydicus was tested for inhibition of Phytophthora meadii in agar medium and sterile soil. The actinomycete inhibited growth of P. meadii in various agar media and reduced the infective propagules in soil. Filter sterilised cultural filtrate and crude extract of antagonistic principle also showed inhibition of P. meadii and the test bacteria Bacillus subtilis
