Cucumber is one of important crops and susceptible to root disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani. The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of two isolates of P. ostreatus (Ah and Ak) and soil treatment with several rates of Typha domingensis residues fermented by P. ostreatus to control R. solani that causes root diseases on cucumbers. In vitro trails, R. solani inhibited significantly by isolate (Ah) as well as redial mycelial growth and the percentage of cucumber seeds germination. In field trails, the number of germinated seedlings was highest at fermented T. domingensis 59.81 compare to control treatment which was 59.81. Disease severity (DS) of root damage was recorded in R. solani and R. solani + Fermented T. domingensis treatments and reached 70.4 and 64.27 respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
