Colonization of cacao seedlings by Trichoderma stromaticum, a mycoparasite of the witches' broom pathogen, and its influence on plant growth and resistance

2008-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Trichoderma stromaticum, a mycoparasite of the cacao witches' broom pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa, is being used in Bahia, Brazil to control the disease under field conditions. The endophytic potential of this biocontrol agent was studied in both shoot and root tissues of sterile and nonsterile cacao and bean seedlings. Agar plate and light and electron microscopy studies showed that T. stromaticum is able to...
