Chemically managed plants impose environmental risks to humans and environment. Using biological approaches control plant diseases is a more effective environment friendly alternative. The approach disease refers controlling by using organisms like fungi, bacteria viruses. This can be done introduction or utilization of resident antagonistic living organisms. Biological achieved through differe...

Alternaria porri causing purple blotch disease of onion is a destructive phytopathogen which causes severe loss in productivity. The present study aimed to unravel the antagonistic potential and efficacy volatile organic compounds produced by various Trichoderma spp. against A. through Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis. Ten isolates species were isolated from rhizospheric soi...

Trichoderma spp. are fungi that occur worldwide. Recent studies show that they are not only parasites of fungal plant pathogens but also can produce antibiotics. In addition, certain strains can induce systemic and localized resistance to several plant pathogens. Moreover, some strains may enhance plant growth and development. The potential of Trichoderma species used as biological agents of pl...

Army ant colonies host a diverse community of arthropod symbionts. Among the best-studied symbiont communities are those of Neotropical army ants of the genus Eciton. It is clear, however, that even in these comparatively well studied systems, a large proportion of symbiont biodiversity remains unknown. Even more striking is our lack of knowledge regarding the nature and specificity of these ho...

The cucumber (Cucumis sativa L.) is often subjected to several fungal diseases. Rhizoctonia solani-induced damping-off and root rot are the most common diseases reported from commercial greenhouses of eastern area Saudi Arabia. objective current study explore antagonistic activity four Trichoderma species against R. solani in vitro vivo. Ten isolates (eight belonging AG-4 two AG-A AG2-1) were s...

Abstract Background Brown spot disease is one of the most destructive foliar diseases rice. Biological control this considered more environmentally safe, but biological agents have limited availability. The fungus Trichoderma can be used as a biocontrol agent for various plant diseases, including brown spots. Indigenous species from West Timor were evaluated in study to reveal their effectivene...
