Published: April 2023

The effect of different bioagents such as Trichoderma harzianum, T. viride, T. virens, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Bacillus subtilis was studied on seed mycoflora, seed germination, root/shoot length, and seedling vigour of cucumber var. Solan Srijan under in vitro conditions. Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., and Fusarium spp. were observed on cucumber as seed mycoflora, with T. harzianum showing the greatest inhibition for Alternaria sp. and Fusarium spp., and T. viride showing the greatest inhibition for Aspergillus sp. Cucumber var. Solan Srijan seeds were treated with various bio agents, with T. harzianum being the most effective in increasing seed germination (88.75%), root length (13.58 cm), shoot length (14.58 cm), and seedling vigour (2501.31).

Fungal diseases are among the biotic factors limiting the production of faba bean in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify seedborne mycoflora associated with faba bean seed samples, determine their effects on seed germination and disease transmission, and evaluate the antimicrobial activities of seven plant extracts and four spp. against the pathogen isolated from the seed.
