Antagonistic capacity of native paraguayan isolates of Trichoderma spp. against capsicum pathogens (Capsicum annuum var Natalie): Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Abstract

This work aims to evaluate the antagonistic capacity of native Paraguayan isolates of Trichoderma spp. against pepper pathogens (Capsicum annuum var. Natalie): Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, through evaluation of the antagonistic activity against phytopathogens in direct confrontation assays and the antibiosis produced by molecules secreted by Trichoderma.
