In Vitro Evaluation of Mutant and Wild Strain of Trichoderma harzianum against Soil Borne Plant Pathogen
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Aqueous suspension of conidia of Trichoderma harzianum wild strain Th-W were placed on potato dextrose agar and expose to UV irradiation for 10, 20, 30, and 40 min at 20 cm distance from which four stable mutants of T. harzianum i.e., Th-M-1, Th-M-2, Th-M-3 and Th-M-4 were obtained as it differed considerably from wild strain (Th-W) for their morphological characteristics. In vitro evaluation of mutant and wild strain of T. harzianum against three soil borne plant pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici, Sclerotium rolfsii and Macrophomina phaseolina by dual culture method, revealed that mutant strains overgrew all the pathogenic fungi more rapidaly than the wild strain.
