Trichoderma spp. are common soil fungi which influence tile development of plant-pathogenic fungi in the soil (1, 8). Yang et al. (9) found that T. harzianum influenced the severity of Fusarium wilt of cotton in the presence of Meloidogyne incognita. We report herein that the survival of two other plant-parasitic nematodes also was influenced by addit ion of cornminuted cultures of Trichoderrna...

Sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS1) of the ribosomal DNA were used to determine the phylogenetic relationships of species of Trichoderma sect. Pachybasium. To this end, 85 strains-including all the available ex-type strains-were analyzed. Parsimony analysis demonstrated that the section is nonmonophyletic, distributing the 85 strains among three main groups that were su...

Six strain of Trichoderma (T. viride, T. harzianum, T. reesei, T. longibrachiatum, T. koningii, T. virens) were isolated and used for extracellular enzyme production. Species of Trichoderma are collected from the surrounding soil of suger beet root fields in East Iran, and held in vitro cultured PDA. TCM and TFM are used for the growth of spores and induceing the production of Cellulase. Finall...

Infection of cantaloupe plant with Downy mildew caused by the fungus Pseudoperonospora cubensis leads to significant losses in amount crop, addition to, reducing its marketing value many countries around world, therefore, efficacy each organisms (Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride, Bacillus subtilis, megaterium and Pseudomonas fluorescens), fungicid...
