Biocontrol efficiency of microencapsulated Trichoderma harzianum coupled with organic additives against potato stem rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii

Impacts of long-term irrigation with coalmine effluent contaminated water on trace metal contamination of topsoil and potato tubers in Dinajpur area, Bangladesh

“…Based on this data it could be insighted that, potato produced from the three tested sites are safe for human consumption but still there could be a potent health risk from some of the trace metals because trace metal toxicity to human is exclusively related to the amount of exposer either by oral or dermal means. Potato is the most produced and consumed vegetable for Bangladeshi people and the consumption rate is quite high compared to many other countries of the world [ 102 , 103 ]. There is a good chance that people consuming potatoes grown on wastewater-irrigated soil might intake high quantities of some trace metals even though the trace metal contents of potato tubers remained within the safe zone.…”

Enhancing Biocontrol Potential: Development and Efficacy Assessment of a Liquid Formulation of Trichoderma Asperellum MSU007 against Sclerotium Rrolfsii

“…These findings collectively underscore the consistent and robust inhibitory effect of both the T. asperellum MSU007 liquid formulation and Terrrachor Super-X against S. mycelium growth, even after extended storage duration. Chowdhury et al [18] explored the potential of using microencapsulated T. harzianum in combination with organic additives as a biocontrol strategy against S. rolfsii, with the dual aim of improving both the overall health and yield of potato crops. Their investigation involved 5 distinct treatment combinations, including a control group with no T. harzianum or organic additives, and various combinations of T. harzianum with rice husk biochar, mustard oil cake, and tea waste.…”
