Deciphering the Biocontrol Potential of Trichoderma asperellum (Tv1) Against Fusarium-Nematode Wilt Complex in Tomato.

The study assessed Trichoderma spp. as a biocontrol agent for managing wilt-nematode complex in tomato crops, aiming to mitigate yield losses. Fusarium sp.

Characterization and Pathogenicity of Soilborne Pathogens in : Effects of Single- and Multiple-Pathogen Coinfection on Disease Responses.

Glory lily (), an ornamental climbing plant, contains the bioactive compound colchicine, attracting attention from the pharmaceutical industry. However, soilborne pathogens have emerged as a serious threat to the cultivation of glory lily, leading to substantial economic losses in the southern parts of India. Among these, the three major pathogens are , , and , causing dry root rot (also referred to as charcoal rot), wilt, and stem rot, respectively.

Unleashing Bacillus species as versatile antagonists: Harnessing the biocontrol potentials of the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria to combat Macrophomina phaseolina infection in Gloriosa superba.

Charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is one of the most devastating diseases that cause severe yield loss in Gloriosa superba cultivation. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are extensively harnessed as biocontrol agents due to their effectiveness in combating a wide array of plant pathogens through a multifaceted approach. The present study delved into the mechanisms underlying its ability to inhibit root rot pathogen and its capacity to promote plant growth in G.

First Report of as a Mycoparasite on Causing Head Rot of Cabbage in India.

, an ascomycetous, omnipresent, cellulose-decaying soil fungus, has been reported to be a well-known mycoparasitic biological control agent. In this study, we isolated , a mycoparasitic fungus for the first time in India from sclerotia of the notorious plant pathogen , causing head rot disease in cabbage. A total of five mycoparasitic fungi were isolated from the sclerotial bodies of (TNAU-CR 01, 02, 03, 04 and 05).
