e2“an albino strain of Trichoderma harzianum, a biological control agent (BCA)”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Synnemata of L. procerum were present on inoculated wafers, but hyphae did not penetrate and melanise.
- Observation Synnemata of O. piceae were present on inoculated wafers, but hyphae did not penetrate and melanise.
- Mechanism The authors infer that fast T. harzianum growth in inner wood compensated for limited chitosan penetration.
