Trichoderma is an effective bio-control agent against a wide range of disease-causing pathogens of various crops and potential to be integrated into the disease management program. The study was conducted to find out the compatible pesticide/s with Trichoderma for integrated pest management (IPM). This study includes in-vitro evaluation of four chemical fungicides (carbendazim, copper-oxychloride, captan and tebuconazole + sulphur), three chemical insecticides (malathion, imidachlorpid and chlorpyriphos + cypermethrin) and one botanical insecticide (azadirachtin) for compatibility with seven different native isolates and two known species of Trichoderma through poisoned food technique. Copper-oxychloride was found compatible with all the tested isolates. In contrast, carbendazim and tebuconazole + sulphur were found incompatible. The insecticides, malathion, imidachlorpid, chlorpyriphos + cypermethrin, azadirachtin and the fungicide, captan showed some degree of compatibility. It is concluded that the tested Trichoderma isolates and the given species could be used together in combination with the given compatible fungicide such as copper-oxychloride and the given insecticides. These results would be helpful to set out the possibility of combining Trichoderma spp. as a biocontrol agent with pesticides to be used through IPM approach.
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.
