Abstract: | Five experimental trials were carried out to test different biological control agents against Fusarium wilt of lettuce, cause
byFusarium oxysporum f.sp.lactucae. In the presence of a very high disease incidence, the best results in terms of disease control as well as increased growth
response were shown byTrichoderma harzianum T 22 (RootShield), which, at 3 gl
−1 of substrate, provided very consistent results.F. oxysporum IF 23 gave good disease control but in two out of five trials reduced the biomass produced. Less consistent, but still significant
results were provided byF oxysporium MSA 25, at 3 gl
−1 of substrate, and byTrichoderma viride TV 1. The twoF. oxysporum agents Fo 251/2 and Fo 47 and the mixture ofT. harzianum + T. viride (Remedier) partially reduced disease incidence but were less effective than the above mentioned. Less interesting results
were offered byStreptomyces griseoviridis (Mycostop). The results obtained show that biological control can play a role in the management of Fusarium wilt of lettuce. |
