“…Biological control has immense potential to be used as viable and alternative disease management strategy and it can be blended well with the integrated disease management capsules [1][2][3][4][5]. Biological control has proved very effective in disease management, more so of soil borne diseases [6][7][8][9], diseases of fruits [10][11][12], foliar diseases [13][14][15][16][17][18] as well as nematode diseases [14,19,20], besides innumerable other crop diseases and the list is growing day by day.…”

Biological control of plant diseases is an important component of disease management, particularly in the today's' world of environmental consciousness and awareness. It is particularly preferred method of disease management under organic production system. Biological control is successful in almost all the crops against a number of diseases but soil borne diseases are most responsive to bio-control methods. The agents of biological control, known as bio-control agents (BCAs) belong to a vast group of micro-organisms, particularly fungi (Trichoderma, Ampelomyces, etc), bacteria (Pseudomonas, Bacillus, etc) and actinomycetes. Bottle gourd is an important vegetable crop belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. It suffers from a number of diseases like anthracnose, powdery mildew, downy mildew, wilt, etc. The present review shall be an attempt to review the biological control of the major diseases of bottle gourd.
