Dose-response relationship in the microbial suppression of Sclerotium rolfsii by Trichoderma pseudokoningii, strain MTCC 3011.

摘要

This paper reports on the effects of various types of inocula and inoculum density of T. pseudokoningii on its efficacy as an antagonist of S. rolfsii [Corticium rolfsii]. The disease control potential of T. pseudokoningii was tested using rhizomesof ginger. Both mycelia and conidia were successful in suppressing the growth of C. rolfsii. It is suggested that T. pseudokoningii inhibits C. rolfsii by mycoparasitism, with eventual hyphal lysis.
