Antagonism of Chaetomium globosum, Gliocladium virens and Trichoderma viride to four soil-borne Phytophthora species
Journal of Phytopathology - Phytopathologische Zeitschrift 141 (4), 390-394
Abstract: Chaetomium globosum, Gliocladium virens and Trichoderma viride isolated from soil samples from the Kivu-region of Zaire are antagonistic and mycoparasitic to four soil borne Phytophthora species. Radial growth of P. cinnamomi, P. cactorum, P. fragariae of P. nicotianae mycelia was inhibited in all antagonist pathogen combinations, mycelial mats of Phytophthora colonies were overgrown by the antagonists and hyphae lysed. Samples of mycoparasitized mycelium, plated on Benlate amended PDA to inhibit the development of antagonists showed severely reduced vitality after 77 days of dual culture.
