Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect The two A. terreus isolates inhibited P. aphanidermatum growth in culture.
- Observation P. aphanidermatum hyphae near the inhibition zone showed abnormal growth and loss of internal content.
- Intervention effect A. terreus culture filtrate significantly increased cellular leakage from P. aphanidermatum mycelium.
- Observation Both A. terreus isolates showed significantly increased glucanase activity.
- Observation Aspergillus isolates produced siderephore.
- Mechanism Siderephore is suggested to contribute to inhibition of Pythium growth.
- Intervention effect Culture filtrates of 65P and 9F significantly reduced P. aphanidermatum spore production relative to control.
- Intervention effect A. terreus biocontrol increased cucumber seedling survival to 38-39%, versus 10-20% with P. aphanidermatum alone.
- Observation Cucumber seedlings treated only with A. terreus 65P and 9F showed no disease symptoms.
- Intervention effect A. terreus isolates had no negative effects on cucumber seedling growth.
