abstract = "Fusarium wilt disease is a destructive plant disease and it affects a wide range of vegetable crops. It impacts many important crops, including field crops, ornamental plants, fruits, and vegetables. The disease is caused by vascular wilt pathogens in the soil called Fusarium species. Fusarium spp. in particular are among the most significant and toxic organisms that cause plant diseases, impacting almost all commercially important plant species. Fusarium spp. produce macro conidia, microconidia, and chlamydospores, and it act as propagules infect host plant. Fusarium spp. identified. saprophytic, parasitic and dormant three stages in the life cycle. The presence of reddish-brown discoloration in the xylem vessels, yellowing and wilting of the leaves, reduced growth rate, and decay of the roots or stems are indicative of fusarium wilt. The development of fungal growth on the outer surface of damaged stems. Plants become challenging to manage Fusarium spp. invade the roots and proliferate in the vascular tissues, disrupting the water-conducting capillaries of the plant. Due to the soil-borne nature of this plant pathogen, chemical fungicides are rendered useless because the spores can live in the soil for many years. The physical, chemical, and cultural techniques used to manage Fusarium wilt disease are not only expensive but also ineffective. This makes the disease hard to manage. The most effective method to manage Fusarium wilt disease is through biocontrol. Both pathogenic and non-pathogenic isolates are found in the same environment and they both infiltrate plant roots. Many attempts have been made to employ non-pathogenic isolates as biocontrol agents to treat Fusarium wilt infestations, as they have comparable nutritional and environmental needs. This review focuses on biocontrol techniques such as bacterial biocontrol, that are used to manage Fusarium wilt disease.
