Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Biocontrol varied by agent, medium and pathogen.
- Intervention effect In pumice, Binab T reduced disease levels and incidence of all three tomato root pathogens.
- Intervention effect In pumice, Gliomix reduced disease levels and incidence of all three tomato root pathogens.
- Intervention effect In pumice, Mycostop reduced disease levels and incidence of all three tomato root pathogens.
- Intervention effect Mycostop had no significant effect on levels of the three pathogens in peat.
- Intervention effect Binab T achieved biological control in peat.
- Intervention effect Gliomix achieved biological control in peat.
- Association Biocontrol of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici was poorer than for Pythium aphanidermatum or Phytophthora cryptogea in both media.
