dc.description.abstract | Nineteen agricultural and forest byproducts were tested as substrates (single substrates) for mass production of Trichoderma virens, T.harzianum, T.viride, and T. Hamatum, the promising antagonists of the pathogen of coconut stem bleeding disease viz. Thielaviopsis paradoxa. Among these, rice bran supported maximum growth of all antagonists followed by wheat bran and neem cake (703.33. 843.33, 753.67 and 660.0 x 10 cfu/g substrate respectively). Among the ten combination substrates (containing two promising substrates) tested, rice bran + neem cake (1: 1 w/w) showed maximum growths of all antagonists after 15 days of incubation (806.67,926.67,873.33 and 786.67 x 106 cfu/g substrate respectively). Among the six composts tested, coffee husk vermicompost showed maximum growths of all antagonists after 15 days of incubation (563.33,7 16.67,616.67 and 663.33 x 106cfu/g substrate respectively). Based on these studies rice bran + neem cake (1: 1 w/w) was selected as the best substrate for mass production of the four antagonists for soil application in the field trials for the management of stem bleeding disease of coconut. | en_US |
