A process for the preparation of a growth media for mass multiplication of bio-control fungi, comprising a chopped, shade-dried distillation waste in a plastic bag that is plugged with cotton followed by autoclaving and an inoculation of a strain of bio-control fungi such as or , and incubating the bags at room temperature for 14-30 days, and then shade drying and grinding the product to obtain a fine powder.

Process for the preparation of novel growth media from distillation and other plant wastes for mass multiplication of bio-control fungi

The present invention relates preparation of superior quality vermicompost from the distillation wastes of aromatic crops said method comprises drying of distillation waste for 24 to 72 hours, obtained after the distillation of herbage for 2-3 h. at 20-25lbs of steam pressure, chopping the waste into small pieces, transferring this material into compost pits containing about 7-10 cm layer of partially rotten cowdung and 400-450 earthworms ( )/m , daily watering of the pits to keep the plant material moist and covering them with gunny bags to check the loss of humidity, reloading the pits (20-30 cm layer) with the chopped distilled waste after 30-35 days, restricting watering after complete degradation of the added material, harvesting of the dried material and shade drying the same for 4-5 days, and sieving the harvested compost to remove earthworms.

Method for the faster multiplication of earthworms, and production of vermicompost from the distillation waste of industrial aromatic crops

A strain of is obtained that is useful as a nematode inhibitor, fungicide and plant growth promoter. The strain has ATCC accession number PTA-3701. The strain is isolated by treating isolated from experimental fields of Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP) Field Station with a mutagen such as ethyl methyl sulphonate, and isolating a whitish and fast growing strain of

Strain of Trichoderma harzianum useful as nematode inhibitor, fungicide and plant growth promoter and a process for the isolation thereof
