symptoms of verticillium wilt, phytophthora root rot and phytophthora blight in pepper plants …

Aims To identify potential biological control agents against Verticillium wilt in olive through a
mass screening approach. Method and Results A total of 47 strains and nine mixtures of …

In their natural environment, plants interact with many different organisms. The nature of
these interactions may range from positive, for example interactions with pollinators, to …

Five biocontrol agents and potassium phosphite, used at various concentrations and at a
different number of applications, have been tested to establish their ability to control …

Induction of defense response in host plants by the Trichoderma spp. has been attributed as
one of the major mechanisms leading to inhibition of the pathogenic ingression. The present …
