In this study, Trichoderma viride and T. harzianum were used as biological control agents to assess their antagonistic potential against some dermatophytic fungi (Microsporum gypseum, M. fulvum, Trichophyton rubrum, T. interdigitale) which causes ring worm in human. For this purpose dual culture method was used. Trichoderma viride and T. harzianum showed highest percentage inhibition of radial growth (PIRG) against Trichophyton interdigitale (92% & 60% respectively). Colony over growth was also observed with Trichoderma viride. The outcomes of the study indicate that Trichoderma viride was excellent antagonist to prevent the growth of dermatophytic fungi whereas T. harzianum exhibited moderate PIRG between 45-60% against Microsporum gypseum, M. fulvum, Trichophyton rubrum, T. interdigitale.
