e0“This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a commercial bioproduct containing Trichoderma asperellum strain ICC012 and Trichoderma gamsii strain ICC080, against P. aegyptiaca in tomato. The experiment was conducted under controlled greenhouse conditions”
e1“Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel, commonly known as Egyptian broomrape, is a root parasitic plant that causes significant yield losses in tomato production”
e6“there was no significant difference in the dry weight of the shoots among treatments”
e7“BCA did not significantly alter the weights of aerial parts and the roots of tomato compared to the control”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Biological control agent applications significantly increased disease severity in broomrape shoots, from 40% in controls to 69.5-79.6%.
- Intervention effect Biological control agent treatment increased the number of broomrape shoots with the highest necrotic-area scale, from three in controls to 17-19.5.
- Intervention effect Biological control agent treatment is associated with more dead tubercles on tomato roots (32 vs 16 in untreated controls).
- Intervention effect Fresh weight of broomrape shoots under biological control agent treatment was significantly different from control.
- Intervention effect Biological control agent treatment did not significantly alter the aerial and root weights of tomato compared with control.
- Mechanism Trichoderma species are suggested to control broomrape through multiple mechanisms.
- Recommendation Further field trials are recommended to validate these findings under natural conditions.
