An endophytic Daldinia bambusicola isolated from stems of Camellia caduca (Theaceae), collected from Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India (25.30° North, 91.70° East). Volatile organic compounds produced by this organism were analyzed through GC-MS. Major VOCs were found as linalool; benzeneethanol; 2H-1- benzopyran-2-One, 4, 7-dihydroxy; hexane; pivalic acid anhydride; 2-ethylhexanol etc. The organism inhibited most of the test pathogens and 100 % inhibition was observed with Phytophthora palmivora. The organism after its treatment is able to increases the self-life of vegetables and fruits.
