Damping off diseases caused by Sclerotium rolfsii and Rhizoctonia solani and wilt caused by Fusarium spp. in seedlings of pechay, mustard, lettuce, soybean and tomato were shown to be effectively controlled by Trichoderma longibrachiatum under screenhouse condition. Spores of the antagonist can be inoculated in the soil as suspension and as pellets. Mechanism of control is believed to be by outcompetition of the pathogens by the antagonist. Direct parasitism of the pathogens by Trichoderma may be another mechanism of control
