Abstract: Globally, biotic stress caused by many microorganisms has been a significant problem. The fungal infections by phytopathogenic fungi cause various diseases in crops resulting loss of productivity and quality. The present work highlights that the fungal culture, Penicillium oxalicum can be used as a biocontrol agent against several strains of Fusarium spp., and it involves the bioactivity by fungi, i.e., formation of different secondary metabolites, and enzymes as well as suppressiveness that can control the pathogenic fungi. The bioactivity was observed in fungal cultures though differed as per incubation period. The bioactive potential of fungal culture has been shown in terms of percentage (%) of growth inhibition of Fusarium spp and calculated based on morphological growth on plate culture techniques. Highest percentage of growth inhibition was observed in the 12-day-old culture of Fusarium spp. followed by 5-day-old culture. Focusing on different incubation periods on bioactive potential of Penicillium oxalicum maybe useful for the formation of biologically active metabolites and also effective for pharmaceutical research and show antagonistic behavior against plant pathogens.
