Antagonistic activity of Trichoderma species against fungi associated with Oil seeds

Yadav S. G.

Abstract :

The species of Trichoderma are effective biocontroll agent used for management of various crop plant diseases.The effectiveness of Trichoderma species is due to their extracellular secretion of metabolites. The oil seeds, Ground nut (Arachis hypogea.L), Soyabean (Glycine max.L), Sunflower (Helianthus anus.L), Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L) are the major oil seed crops grown in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. The seed mycoflora was detected by using Blotter paper method and Agar plate method and 19 fungal species i.e. Alternaria alternate, Alternaria tenuis, Aspergillus tamari, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger,Aspergillus fumigatous, Aspergillus terrus, Aspergillus candidus, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Fusarium moniliformae, Fusarium semitectum, Penicillium notatum,Penicillium digitatum,Rhizopus nigiricans, Rhizopus stolonifer, Rhizoctinia solani, Rhizoctonia bataticola, Sclerotium sp.were obtained and these fungal species screened by the three species of Trichoderma i.e. Trichoderma harzianum,Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma virens,of these Trichoderma harzianum proved to be superior for inhibition of the above mentioned pathogens as compared to Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma virens.
