Current research investigations were undertaken to explore such type of rhizobacteria from rice soil. Inhibitory effect of these bacteria was checked against <em>Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae and Agrobacterium tumifacians</em>. Research outcomes unveiled that all tested rhizobacterial isolates exerted antagonistic effect against both the tested pathogens. They produced 0.8% to 1.68% inhibitory zone against fungus and 20 to 40 % against bacteria. It can be therefore, assumed that these antagonistic bacterial strains may be employed as biocontrol inoculants against fungal and bacterial diseases of agricultural crops.</p> <p><strong>Kee words</strong>: Rhizobacteria, biocontrol, diseases, fungi and crops.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Agricultural Sciences Journal}, author={Javed Asghar Tariq and Bashir Ahmed and Manzoor Ali Abro and M.
