A preliminary study into the biological control of Armillaria novaezelandiae and A. limonea

A preliminary study into the biological control of Armillaria novaezelandiae and A. limonea The ability of nine isolates of eight common saprophytic fungi to prevent primary colonisation by Armillaria was tested on freshly cut branch segments of Pinus radiata. A species of Trichoderma showed marked antagonism to two isolates each of Armillaria novae-zelandiae and A. limonea. There was also evidence of reduced colonisation by Armillaria of segments inoculated with Rigidoporus catervatus or Ganoderma mastoporum. The four isolates of Armillaria varied in their ability to colonise non-sterile branch segments. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australasian Plant Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

The ability of nine isolates of eight common saprophytic fungi to prevent primary colonisation by Armillaria was tested on freshly cut branch segments of Pinus radiata. A species of Trichoderma showed marked antagonism to two isolates each of Armillaria novae-zelandiae and A. limonea. There was also evidence of reduced colonisation by Armillaria of segments inoculated with Rigidoporus catervatus or Ganoderma mastoporum. The four isolates of Armillaria varied in their ability to colonise non-sterile branch segments.
