This study was undertaken to evaluate the compatibility of commonly used agrochemicals at recommended dosages with Trichoderma harzianum at 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm concentrations by using poisoned food technique. All the fungicides found to be more compatible and safer to the Trichoderma harzianum (Th-8 isolate) isolate at all the concentration and these fungicides did not adversely affect the growth of test antagonist except Thiram. Metalaxyl was found to be least effective and best compatible with Trichoderma harzianum (Th-8 isolate), since the percent inhibition of Trichoderma (Th-8 isolate) was only 6.68 percent at 1000 ppm concentration. Present finding suggest that compatible fungicides can be used with Trichoderma harzianum in an integrated disease management practices for the control of soil born pathogen.
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.
