Abstract: |
Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is one of the most important plant pathogens commonly causing root rot, stem rot, wilt and
foot rot in various crop species. A wide range of host, profuse mycelial growth, and ability to produce persistent
sclerotia makes them difficult to control. Biological control using Trichoderma could provide a sustainable tool
for the management of diseases caused by S. rolfsii. One hundred four Trichoderma isolates were evaluated
against S. rolfsii in vitro by dual culture. Of them, 30 Trichoderma isolates found effective were selected to study
parasitization of sclerotia of S. rolfsii in vitro. Similarly, four Trichoderma isolates found effective in vitro were
used to study their ability to parasitize sclerotia of the pathogen in soil. Trichoderma isolates varied significantly
(p
Trichoderma isolate T73, Forest soil had highest inhibition (96.96%), while Trichoderma isolate T49, Bhaktapur
showed the highest bio-control index (99) against S. rolfsii. Trichoderma isolates T49, Bhaktapur and T87, Forest
soil showed promising results in controlling S. rolfsii in vitro. Both isolates were also able to parasitize and reduce
the germination of sclerotia in the soil. The present study demonstrated that selected Trichoderma had potential
in controlling Sclerotium rolfsii. |
