Potato ranks fourth as the most important food crop in the world. The crop is known to suffer from many diseases among which late blight is more devastating. Therefore, culture filtrates of bio-control agents, (Trichoderma virens, Trichoderma viride, Paecilomyces lilacinus and Pseudomonas fluorescens) were tested for their effectiveness on the spore germination and infection in-vitro, as fungic...

This investigation aimed at production of gluconic acid by fungal species isolated from soil in Keffi. Standard microbiological methods were employed for isolation and identification the isolates. The yields produced different isolates fungi determined using gas chromatograph mass Spectrometry. occurrence showed that Rhizopus oryzae was 100%, Aspergillus carneus 75.0%, niger 75.0% terreus 100% ...

One of the main obstacles to feeding world is fungal leaf spot disease, which has a negative impact on plants' photosynthetic areas and significantly lowers crop quality output. To manage fungi that pose serious hazard both humans environment, various chemical fungicides are utilized. The goal current study was determine whether local isolates three Trichoderma spp. (Trichoderma viride, harzian...

The present experiment aimed at increasing orange peel and sugar beet pulp protein content through solid-state fermentation by Trichoderma reesei and Trichoderma viride. In vitro digestibility and changes in the chemical composition of the fermented products were determined after seven days of fungal cultivation using gas production tests. The cultivation of T. reesei and T. viride on orange pe...

A laboratory and green house experiment was carried out on the comparative antagonistic performance of four different bioagents (Aspergillus sp., Gliocladium virens, Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride) isolated from soil against Rhizoctonia solani. Under laboratory conditions, T. harzianum exhibited maximum (75.55%) mycelial growth inhibition of R. solani This was followed by T. viride, which ...

Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) are two main wastes from oil palm industries which contain rich lignocellulose. Degradation of EFB and POME by microorganisms will produce hydrolytic enzyme which will degrade cellulose and hemicellulose during composting process. However, normal composting takes about four to six months to reach maturity. Hence, application of fungi i...
