sheath blight disease, caused by rhizoctonia solani ag-1 ia, is one of the most serious fungal diseases of rice, worldwide. rice resistance is a relative phenomenon and disease response varied (due to complex quantitative inheritance and high environmental diversity), so an accurate disease assessment would be difficult. to detect a reliable reaction of rice in a high level of disease developme...

The antifungal activity of ethanol extract of Silybum marianum was investigated invitro against three strains of Rhizoctonia solani at different concentrations (5, 10, 15 and 20%). Bioassay of extract was conducted by poisoned food technique with three replications. The findings showed that strain of R. solani (Eggplant) was susceptible to concentrations of S. marianum more than other strains i...

due to high antagonistic activity of trichoderma harizanum, 5 isolates t.h.k, t.h.bi, t.h.mo, var33 and torbat vi were selected and their efficacy was studied for controlling sugar beet damping-off caused by rhizoctonia solani, under in vitro and in vivo conditions.  antagonistic ability of t. harzianum isolates was investigated as dual culture on pda in concomitant and sequential cultures, 48 ...

Azoxystrobin fungicide was evaluated for efficacy against Rhizoctonia solani, causal agent of tobacco sore shin, in greenhouse and in vitro tests. Azoxystrobin significantly increased root weights and reduced disease ratings compared with untreated controls in 2004 and 2005, and also reduced the percent of the stem girdled in 2005 (not measured in 2004). Some phytotoxicity (observed as flecks) ...

This study aimed at evaluating the ability of SL-44 to control Rhizoctonia solani and promote pepper (Capsicum annuum) growth. Strain SL-44 was isolated from plant rhizosphere and the pot experiment results indicated that the dry and fresh weights of pepper in SL-44 and Rhizoctonia solani (S-R) treatment were 45.5% and 54.2% higher than those in Rhizoctonia solani (R) treatment and 18.2% and 31...

Rhizoctonia solani is one of the most important limiting factors for potato production and storage in Belgium and worldwide. Its management is still strongly dependent on chemical treatments. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possibility of exploiting bacteria and fungi in order to control this pathogen. Among a collection of 220 bacterial strains isolated from different organs of health...

A laboratory and green house experiment was carried out on the comparative antagonistic performance of four different bioagents (Aspergillus sp., Gliocladium virens, Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride) isolated from soil against Rhizoctonia solani. Under laboratory conditions, T. harzianum exhibited maximum (75.55%) mycelial growth inhibition of R. solani This was followed by T. viride, which ...
