Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Nonpathogenic F. oxysporum and F. solani isolates gave 50 to 80% reduction of tomato Fusarium wilt incidence in repeated tests.
- Intervention effect Isolates of G. virens significantly reduced tomato Fusarium wilt by 30 to 65% compared with disease controls, but less consistently than the nonpathogenic Fusarium isolates.
- Intervention effect Isolates of T. hamatum significantly reduced tomato Fusarium wilt by 30 to 65% compared with disease controls, but less consistently than the nonpathogenic Fusarium isolates.
- Intervention effect Isolates of P. fluorescens significantly reduced tomato Fusarium wilt by 30 to 65% compared with disease controls, but less consistently than the nonpathogenic Fusarium isolates.
- Intervention effect Isolates of B. cepacia significantly reduced tomato Fusarium wilt by 30 to 65% compared with disease controls, but less consistently than the nonpathogenic Fusarium isolates.
- Intervention effect The commercial product SoilGard, containing G. virens, reduced tomato disease by 62 to 68%.
- Intervention effect The commercial product RootShield, containing T. harzianum, reduced tomato disease by 62 to 68%.
- Intervention effect Combinations of antagonists reduced tomato Fusarium wilt.
- Intervention effect Combinations of antagonists gave no significantly better control of tomato Fusarium wilt than nonpathogenic Fusarium antagonists alone.
- Intervention effect Several fungal and bacterial isolates from tomato roots and rhizosphere significantly reduced Fusarium wilt.
- Intervention effect Several fungal and bacterial isolates from tomato roots and rhizosphere were no more effective against Fusarium wilt than other previously identified biocontrol strains.
