Joint Action of Trichoderma hamatum and Difenoconazole on Growth of a Phytopathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum under Laboratory Conditions

Biochemical changes, antioxidative profile, and efficacy of the bio-stimulant in plant defense response against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in common bean (Phasaeolus vulgaris L.)

“…Plants treated with BCAs became primed to respond faster by activating cellular defense responses and up-regulation of defense genes [ 67 , 68 ]. Trichoderma -based products and synthetic fungicides may result in the combined interaction for Sclerotinia stem rot disease management [ 69 ]. In this study, we have reported that induced systemic resistance (ISR) play a crucial role during the interaction of pathogenic elicitors with host plants, rendering spatially distant plant parts resistant to the pathogens.…”
