| dc.description.abstract | In vitro interaction of three antagonistic fungi, viz., Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride with four isolates of Thielaviopsis paradoxa (deSeynes) von Hohnel, the causal agent of stem bleeding disease of coconut was studied. Three methods of inoculation, viz., (I) T. paradoxa inoculated 12 hrs before the inoculation of antagonistic fungus; (2) both T. paradoxa and antagonistic fungus were simultaneously inoculated, and (3) T. paradoxa inoculated 12 hrs after the inoculation of the antagonistic fungus were tested. Minimum growth inhibition of different isolates of T. paradoxa was observed when T. paradoxa was inoculated 12 hrs before the inoculation of the antagonist and maximum growth inhibition of T. paradoxa was observed when T. paradoxa was inoculated 12 hrs after the inoculation of the antagonistic fungus. Among the three antagonistic fungi tested, an isolate of Trichoderma viride exerted maximum growth inhibition (90%) of the pathogen. | en_US |
