Abstract The current study was conducted to assess the antagonistic bio-efficacy of using wild type and mutant isolates of Glomus versiforme (AMF) and Trichoderma harzianum (TH) in inhibiting powdery mildew disease and enhancing growth of cowpea in a screen house pot experiment. In all, both singly and co-inoculation, eleven treatments were applied as follows: AMFwild, AMF30, AMF60, AMF90, TH, AMFwild + TH, AMF30 + TH, AMF60 + TH, AMF90 + TH, Pathogen alone and control. Results of preliminary antagonistic assay reveal that, using the bio-agents Trichoderma harzianum and Glomus versiforme inhibited the cowpea pathogen Erysiphe flexuosa. Cowpea growth measurements and disease assessment were taken after 7 weeks. All treatments significantly (P
