USE OF Trichoderma harianum KRL- AG2 AGAINST PHYTOPATHOGENIC FUNGI, LIBYA

<p>In this study, isolate of T. harzianum was tested for antagonistic action against four<br>soil borne phytopathogenic fungi using dual culture assay. T. harzianum grow<br>faster than the isolated fungi considerable antagonistic effect on mycelium growth<br>of the pathogens in dual culture compared to the control. Maximum inhibition<br>occurred in Botrytis cinerea interactions (67.5%) followed by Macrophomina<br>phaseolina (66.1%), Fusarium solani (51.1%) and Sclerotinia sclertiorum (44.4%)<br>with zone inhibition was observed in S. sclerotiorum only.
