چکیده
Si ngh A, Islam MN (2010) In vitro evaluation of Trichoderma spp against Phytophthora nicotianae. Int. J. Expt. Agric. 1(1), 20-25. The Blank sank disease of tobacco caused by Phytophthora nicotianae results in considerable loss of the crop. This lab study aimed to investigate antagonistic activity of Trichoderma spp isolates against P. nicotianae. Three isolates of Trichoderma harzianum and one of T. viridae were evaluated in vitro for their efficacy suppressing the growth of P. nicotianae. The results showed considerable antagonistic potential for the biocontrol of P. nicotianae isolate by used all of Trichoderma species. T. harzianum (0034H) was found highly inhibitory to P. nicotianae in dual culture followed by T. harzianum (0034M) and T. harzianum (0034W). T. viridae (0034S) showed least effective to inhibit the mycelial growth of P. nicotianae. Microscopical observations indicate that the inhibitory effect was caused by an interaction that took place in close contact with the host hypha, causing lysing, swelling and coiling mycelia resulting potentially reduced of mycelial growth of P. nicotianae over control treatment.

The understanding of the dynamic of soil-borne diseases is related to the microbial composition of the rhizosphere which is the key to progress in the field of biological control. Trichoderma spp. is commonly used as a biological control agent. The use of next generation sequencing approaches and quantitative PCR are two successful approaches to assess the effect of using compost as substrate f...

In vitro studies with Trichoderma spp., soil-borne fungal antagonists, demonstrated that a number of isolates produced volatile and non-volatile metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth and sporulation of several soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi. Microscopic observations showed that T. harzianm and T. viride, isolated from soil samples from Ahwaz and Karaj, adversely affected the myce...

Infection of citrus seedlings by Tylenchulus semipenetrans was shown to reduce subsequent infection of roots by Phytophthora nicotianae and to increase plant growth compared to plants infected by only the fungus. Hypothetical mechanisms by which the nematode suppresses fungal development include nutrient competition, direct antibiosis, or alteration of the microbial community in the rhizosphere...
