In vitro studies on biological control of Phytophthora meadii using Trichoderma spp
Material type:
TextPublication details: IRRDB symposium on diseases of Hevea Cochin, India, 21-22 November 1994 1994Description: 78-81Subject(s): Summary: An attempt was made to study the effect of antagonistic fungi, Trichoderma viride, T. koningi and T. harzianum, against Phytophthora meadii which causes abnormal leaf fall disease in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis). In vitro screening of these antagonists showed that all inhibited growth of the pathogen. The antagonists were also found to penetrate the oospores of the fungus and cause their lysis.
