Selection of Trichoderma stromaticum isolates for efficient biological control of witches' broom disease in cacao

2009-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Witches' broom is the most devastating disease of cacao in Brazil, and losses to it entail serious socio-economical and environmental problems. Biological control of the causal agent Moniliophthora perniciosa (Mp) using the antagonistic fungus Trichoderma stromaticum (Ts) is promising, although the identification of superior isolates is necessary. Here, we report a study on the selection of more effective Ts isola...
