Biological control ofBotrytis cinereaon tomato using naturally occurring fungal antagonists

In vitro antagonism of Trichoderma and naturally occurring fungi from elms against Ophiostoma novo‐ulmi

“…(Mónaco et al 2009), Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. These fungi usually grow on soil and are more rarely associated with other fungi in aerial plant parts.…”

“…Trichoderma has shown antagonist activity towards many plant pathogenic fungi and Oomycota, such as Botrytis cinerea Pers. (Mónaco et al 2009), Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magnus) Briosi and Cavara (Abendajo and Bankole 2004), Phytophthora capsici Leonian (Ezziyyani et al 2007), Pythium ultimum Trow (Liu et al 2009), Rhizoctonia solani J.G.…”

Biological control of red rot in sugarcane by native pyoluteorin‐producing Pseudomonas putida strain NH‐50 under field conditions and its potential modes of action

“…Nirenberg, anthracnose of blueberry caused by Colletotrichum acutatum , root knot of tomato caused by Meloidogyne Javanica , grey mould of tomato and apple caused by Botrytis cinerea and take‐all of wheat caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici 12–16. However, less consideration has been given to the control of red rot disease of sugarcane by using rhizospheric microorganisms.…”

In vitro and In vivo Antifungal Activity of Culture Filtrates and Organic Extracts of Penicillium sp. and Gliocladium spp. against Botrytis cinerea

“…Approximately two hours after treatment, an agar plug (6 mm in diameter) colonized by B. cinerea was placed within each wound. Treated or untreated (control) and inoculated tomato fruits were placed on moist filter papers in plastic boxes to maintain a high relative humidity and incubated at 25°C for 5 days [11]. The lesion diameter of the occasioned rot developed from inoculation sites was measured.…”

“…However, the misuse of several chemical fungicides like benzimidazoles and dicarboximides led to the development of resistant strains making more difficult the control of this pathogen [10]. New safer, environmentally friendly alternative strategies have been developed such as, biological control [11]. Several species of biocontrol agents have been isolated and are becoming increasingly interesting in controlling plant pathogens on various crops, such as Gliocladium virens, G. catenulatum [12] and Penicillium sp.…”
