ABSTRACT
In this study three Trichoderma species; T. afro-harzianum (T8A4), T. reesei (T9i12) and T. guizouhense (T4) were investigated for their mycoparasitic potential in vitro against Phytophthora capsici and Rhizoctonia solani in dual culture test. Antagonistic activity was assessed by calculating the percentage of inhibition of radial growth of pathogens’ mycelium (PIRG %). T. afro-harzianum showed outstanding inhibition of pathogens’ mycelium in dual plates. The highest PIRG % recorded was 84.7 % when T. afro-harzianum (T8A4) confronted Phytophthora capsici whereas the lowest PIRG % recorded was 57.0 % when T. afro-harzianum antagonized Rhizoctonia solani. Signs of mycoparasitism like coiling and degradation of pathogens hyphae were observed.
Key words: Trichoderma, Antagonistic activity, Mycoparasitic potential, Soil-borne phytopathogens
