“…The number of Trichoderma propagules in the soil where the fungus was introduced as a suspension was similar to the population in the treatments without the addition of Trichoderma. The observations are correlated with the authors' earlier studies in which it was observed that the granulates composed of organic waste materials were a good substrate for maintaining the population of Trichoderma in soil ( Smolińska et al 2014b). Also studies conducted by Huang et al (2005) showed that amending soil with a mixture of organic materials and biocontrol agent T. virens, enhanced the antagonistic effect of Trichoderma on plant pathogens.…”

“…Searching for new control methods is important. One possible method could be using antagonistic microorganisms multiplied on organic carriers (Köhl et al 2011;Smolińska et al 2014a;Smolińska et al 2014b;Smolińska et al 2016). The following species: T. virens, T. atroviride and T. harzianum introduced into the soil on organic carriers significantly reduced the S. sclerotiorum population (Smolińska et al 2016).…”

“…Using organic material as carriers of Trichoderma could improve the survival of the antagonist in the soil. Organic waste materials and by-products from the agro-food processing industry can be used as carriers (Kancelista et al 2013;Smolińska et al 2014a;Smolińska et al 2014b;Smolińska et al 2016).…”

The effect of granulated organic waste material overgrown with Trichoderma atroviride TRS25 on the survival of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Chalara thielavioides in the soil was investigated. Application of this material into the soil at a dosage of 1% (w/v) reduced the survival of S. sclerotiorum sclerotia to almost zero after 2 months of incubation. The sclerotia were parasitized by T. atroviride fungus multiplied on granulates. The detrimental effect of granulates on Ch. thielavioides was observed after 4 months of incubation. The granulates, with Trichoderma and without the fungus, caused a decrease of the pathogen population in soil. Trichoderma atroviride introduced into the soil as a conidia suspension did not decrease the amount of Ch. thielavioides but the fungus parasitized S. sclerotiorum sclerotia. After the addition of granulated waste material, an increase of bacteria, especially the Pseudomonas group in the soil was observed.

“…Also, several studies have shown that isolates of Trichoderma spp. can significantly stimulate the growth of different plant species (Vinale et al 2008;Smolińska et al 2014). Fungi of the genus Trichoderma are characterized by rapid growth and abundant production of spores, so they are highly competitive compared with other soil-borne microorganisms.…”

Diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib) de Bary are difficult to control and cause increasing losses of horticultural crops worldwide. Reasons of this phenomenon are various: (i) the specialization of crop production that causes the accumulation of the pathogen in the soil; (ii) the lack of a safe and efficient method of soil fumigation; (iii) the specific life cycle of S. sclerotiorum with survival structures (sclerotia), resistant to chemical and biological degradation. Sclerotinia diseases depend on many environmental factors which determine sclerotia survival and ascospores dissemination, because plants are mainly infected by air-borne ascospores from carpogenic germination of sclerotia. Due to the lack of effective synthetic agents for eradication of S. sclerortiorum from soil considerable interest has been focused on biological control, especially the selection of microorganisms with mycoparasitic activity towards S. sclerotiorum sclerotia, that can decrease their number in the soil. In this work we review reports on the use of different antagonistic fungi and bacteria in the control of S. sclerotiorum and discuss the suppressive effect of organic amendments against this soil-borne pathogen.

“…According to Smolińska et al (2014a) and Cavalcante et al (2008), agricultural waste can be successfully used as a carrier for fungi of the Trichoderma genus. The expansiveness of these microorganisms is caused by the possibility to use a wide range of compounds as a source of nourishment.…”

The experiment consisted in monitoring the count of moulds and three selected Trichoderma sp. isolates (T1 - Trichoderma atroviride, T2 - Trichoderma harzianum, T3 - Trichoderma harzianum) in vegetable (onion and tomato) waste composted with additives (straw, pig manure). Additionally, the aim of the study was to determine the type of interaction occurring between autochthonous fungi isolated from composts after the end of the thermophilic phase and Trichoderma sp. strains applied in the experiment. Number of microorganisms was determined by the plate method, next the identification was confirmed. The rating scale developed by Mańka was used to determine the type of interactions occurring between microorganisms. The greatest count of moulds in onion waste composts was noted in the object which had simultaneously been inoculated with two strains T1 - T. atroviride and T3 - T. harzianum. The greatest count of moulds was noted in the tomato waste composts inoculated with T2 - T. harzianum strain. Microscope identification revealed that Penicillum sp., Rhizopus sp., Alternaria sp. and Mucor sp. strains were predominant in onion waste composts. In tomato waste composts Penicillium was the predominant genus, followed by Rhizopus. The test of antagonism revealed the inhibitory effect of Trichoderma isolates on most autochthonous strains of moulds. Tomato waste composts proved to be better substrates for the growth and development of Trichoderma sp. isolates. The results of the study show that vegetable waste can be used in agriculture as carriers of antagonistic microorganisms.
