Strain discrimination by fungal antagonists of Colletotrichum musae: implications for biocontrol of crown rot of banana.
2001-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Single-strain biocontrol agents often look promising when tested against single-strain pathogens. When confronted with a biodiverse field population, however, biocontrol is inconsistent. This study implies that biodiversity of the crown rot pathogen Colletotrichum musae leads to strain discrimination by antagonists which results in variable biocontrol of the disease. Broad host-range mycoparasites of fungi of the...
