Decrease in the Incidence of Cucumber Fusarium Wilt in Varamin Greenhouses using Talaromyces Flavus

Abstract

However, the results related to third year showed that all treatments containing antagonistic isolates decreased disease severity percent and increased yield significantly, compared to unhealthy control. In spite of a significant difference among antagonistic treatments, in terms of disease severity percent and yield, in first and second years, these treatments were not different significantly in third year. It could be presumed that due to the residues of T. flavus bioformulations related to previous years in soil, the population of the above-mentioned antagonistic fungus has been improved using antagonistic treatments containing T. flavus in these treatments; consequently there was no significant difference among these treatments in terms of measured parameters.

Efficacy of Talaromyces Flavus coated with nanoparticles in the growht inhibitory of Fusarium Oxysporum F.SP. Cucumerinum

“…A 27% decrease in disease severity and a 23% rise in yield were noticed in tomato (Niya et al, 2015). And a 30% reduction of disease severity and a 7% yield increase were achieved in greenhouse cucumber (Naraghi et al, 2017). Since marketing and attracting consumers are considered as important issuesin mass production and commercialization of biological agents (Husen et al, 2006;Alimi et al, 2006;Kaewchai, Soytong, & Hyde, 2009;Pereira et al, 2009), the commercialization of T. flavusas a biological agent and the importance of producing its various bioformulations, including nanoformulations, seem to be necessary at present time.…”
