Main Data : In the present study, efforts were made to control the damping-off of tomato caused by Pythium indicum by using Trichoderma viride alone or in combination with farm yard manure (FYM). T. viride effectively controlled the disease in both sterilized and unsterilized soil than FYM when treated alone. But the combined treatment of T. viride and FYM showed better results in controlling the disease with concominent increase in seedling length and biomass of tomato.
