The most common biological control agents (BCAs) of the genus Trichoderma have been reported to be strains of Trichoderma virens, T. harzianum, and T. viride. Since Trichoderma BCAs use different mechanisms of biocontrol, it is very important to explore the synergistic effects expressed by different genotypes for their practical use in agriculture. Characterization of 16 biocontrol strains, pre...

Three-week-old broiler chicks and 1-yr-old Leghorn cocks were used to determine the effect of beta-glucanase addition (experimental product from Trichoderma longibrachiatum) to a 60% barley-based diet on rate of feed passage, transit time, and mean retention time. Fecal chromium oxide content was used to calculate cumulated and noncumulated excretion data. A Hill equation was chosen to test the...

OBJECTIVES The uncommon fungal pathogen Trichoderma shows increasing medical importance particularly in immunocompromised patients. Despite systemic antifungal therapy, prognosis of Trichoderma infection is poor regardless of the type of infection and the therapy used. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro activity and synergism of double antifungal combinations including am...

In this study, to obtain xylose-based fermentation media from autohydrolysis liquors of sunflower stalk by using commercial xylanase formulation was aimed. Xylose is generally produced xylan diluted acid hydrolysis that causes the formation some unwanted compounds during process. As an alternative dilute method, enzymatic can provide more specific under moderate conditions and does not cause un...

Abstract Background Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.) is one of the major pulse crops in world. The present study aimed to evaluate effect Trichoderma isolates control charcoal rot disease caused by Macrophomina pseudophaseolina recently reported on lentil plants. Results In this study, antagonistic effects seven spp. isolated from rhizosphere were evaluated vitro against M1. All significantly re...

Botrytis cinerea, a causal agent of gray mold disease, is one the most destructive fungal pathogens that leads to substantial global economic crop losses, especially for tomato plants. The present study aims investigate inhibitory effect two microbial culture filtrates (BCA filtrate alone and combined with salicylic acid) Trichoderma longibrachiatum Pseudomonas sp. against phytopathogenic fungu...

Abstract Background Root rot pathogens reported to cause considerable losses in both the quality and productivity of common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) pea Pisum sativum L.). It is an aggressive crop disease with detriment economic influence caused by Fusarium solani Rhizoctonia among other soil-borne fungal pathogens. Destructive plant diseases such as root have been managed last decades usi...
