Abstract In the experiment, the management of various seed borne fungi of wheat (Tilletia tritici, Ustilago tritici, F. graminearum, F. culmorum, Alternaria alternata, A. niger, A. candidus, A. flavus and Penicillium spp., isolated from thirteen wheat varities viz. Malveey-55, Sangam, Raj-3077, UP-2121, Sujata, Pratap, Arjun, Girija, Sonalika, Narwada, Ganga, Kanchan and Rajeshwari, through bio-agents T. viride and T. harzianum were attempted during Oct. to Dec. 2014–2015. under laboratory conditions. The results showed 56.50 to 80.0 per cent control of various seed borne fungi from T. viride and 50.00 to70.40 per cent controls from T. harzianum. In the pot condition, the control per centage was 50.00 to 76.70 per cent and 46.70 to73.40 per cent through T. virdae and T. harzianum, respectively.
