Abstract
The interaction of 11 Trichoderma isolates against Armillaria root rot fungus of tea was investigated. Most isolates significantly inhibited the growth of Armillaria. The highest inhibition was noted with one o f the isolates of T. koningii, T. longibrachiatum and T. harzianum. Th e isolates with highest inhibitory properties tended to produce a pigm ent into the nutrient broth. The implications of these results in view of the future management strategies of Armillaria root rot of tea in Kenya are discussed.
