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 on...

Verticillium wilt is a serious disease of pistachio caused by Verticilliumdahliae. Control of the disease is difficult due to soil borne nature of the causal agent. Verticillium wilt has been biologically controlled by Trichoderma spp. In the present study, Trichoderma spp. was isolated from soils of pistachio orchards and their effect was investigated on radial growth of Verticillium dahliae b...

The present study was conducted to ascertain the ability of Dracaena sanderiana ‘Victory’, a foliage plant species of commercial importance in both domestic and international markets, to thrive under contrasting light environments. The experiment was carried out inside a semi-open greenhouse in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Same sized and same aged, ready-to-ship export quality plugs of Dracaena sande...

Banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) of maize (Zea mays L.) caused by Rhizoctonia solani f. sp. sasakii is one the most important yield-limiting factors faced growers in India. Therefore, attempts were made to identify promising suitable bioagents for management BLSB maize. Present study was carried out check efficacy two bioformulations, viz. Pusa Th3 (Trichoderma harzianum) Cg2 (Chaetomium gl...

Fungi release wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that belong to several chemical groups with different biochemical origins such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, aromatic compounds, esters, furans, ketones, sulfur and nitrogen compounds. Trichoderma species are the most studied fungal biocontrol agents and are successfully used as biofungicides and biofertili...

nine organic substrates viz., rice grains, sorghum grains, wheat grains, millet grains, wheat straw, rice husk, cow dung, sawdust, and poultry manure were used for mass multiplication of trichoderma harzianum. of these,sorghum grains followed by millet grains were the best substrates. the poultry manure appeared to be the most unsuitable substrate, whereas rice grains, wheat grains, wheat straw...
