Antagonistic Activity of Fungi Against Pythium debaryanum (Hesse) Isolated From Chilli Field Soil
نویسنده
چکیده
Fungal phytopathogens are cause of many plant diseases and much loss of crop yields, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Chemical fungicides are extensively used in agriculture. However, these products may cause problems such as environmental pollution and affect human health. Microorganisms as biocontrol agents have high potential to control plant pathogens and no effect on the environment. In the present study antagonistic activity of some soil fungi against pythium debaryanum were studied in in vitro dual culture experiments. All the Trichoderma sp. showed the ability to inhibit the pathogen some of the species showed variability in the percentage of inhibition were discussed.

In vitro Evaluation of Biocontrol Agents Against Damping Off Disease Caused by Pythium debaryanum on Tomato
Damping-off diseases incited by different species of Pythium are a persistent problem worldwide, often resulting in reduced yields and occasionally resulting in major crop damage. There have been increasing restrictions on the use of chemical fungicides, and the development of disease-suppressive biocontrol agents has become a major goal of horticulture crops. An experiment was conducted with t...
متن کاملExploitation of Trichoderma species on the growth of Pythium Aphanidermatum in Chilli
Damping-off of chilli caused by Pythium aphanidermatum is a major nursery disease in vegetables. In vitro experiments evaluated the effect of eight isolates of Trichoderma species (from chilli rhizosphere) were tested against P. aphanidermatum. All the Trichoderma species had varied antagonistic effects against the pathogen. Among them, TVC3 recorded maximum growth inhibition of P. aphanidermat...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal activities of Actinomyces species isolated from soil samples against Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Background and Purpose: Cutaneous infections arise from a homogeneous group of keratinophilic fungi, known as dermatophytes. Since these pathogenic dermatophytes are eukaryotes in nature, use of chemical antifungal agents for treatment may affect the host tissue cells. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Actinomyces species against Trichophyton mentagrophytes (abbrevi...

Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 17400 shows in vitro activity against Pythium debaryanum under conditions of iron limitation. A lacZ reporter gene introduced by transposon mutagenesis into the P. fluorescens ATCC 17400 trehalase gene (treA) was induced by a factor released by the phytopathogen Pythium debaryanum. The induction of the lacZ gene was lost upon treatment of the Pythium supernatant wit...

Antibiotics are the best known products of actinomycete. Over 5,000 antibiotics have been identified from the cultures of Gram positive and Gram-negative organisms, and filamentous fungi, but only about 100 antibiotics have commercially been used to treat human, animal and plant diseases. The genus, Streptomycete, is responsible for the formation of more than 60% of known antibiotics. Bacteri...
