Antagonistic effect of trichoderma viride and its compatibility with fungicides on rhizoctonia solani [eclectronic resource].

Includes references.

This study was conducted to investigate the antagonistic action of Trichoderma viride on Rhizoctonia solani and its compatibility with three fungicides. The three fungicides were triticonazole (sterol biosynthesis inhibitor), azoxystrobin (inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration at complex III) and flutolani (inhibitor of respiration complex II). The sensitivity of R. solani and T. viride grown on potato dexll .lgar medium (PDA) to the tested fungicides was evaluated It was found that triticonazole and flutolanil inhibited completely the growth of R. solani at concentration of 10 µg/ml, but azoxystrobin caused the same results at 100 µg/ml. In view of T. viride, the fungus was not affected by triticonazole or flutolanil, on contrary azoxystrobin affected the fungal growth.
