520 _aAn attempt was made to study the effect of antagonistic fungi, Trichoderma viride, T. koningi and T. harzianum, against Phytophthora meadii which causes abnormal leaf fall disease in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis). In vitro screening of these antagonists showed that all inhibited growth of the pathogen. The antagonists were also found to penetrate the oospores of the fungus and cause their lysis.
