Present agricultural practices encourage the use of two or more than two chemicals to achieve broad spectrum plant protection effect. Not so much is known concerning the effect of these chemicals applied singly or in combination, on the ecology of micro flora, microbe population, including pathogenic fungus and also the antagonistic fungi use of these chemicals may prove beneficial not only in weed control and insect control but also as a means of controlling certain soil borne fungi through their effect in non-target organisms.
