FUNGAL CULTURES EXTRACT AS A BIOCONTROL AGENT FOR SUPPRESSION OF PHELIPANCHE RAMOSA L. GERMINATION
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of crude extract, supernatant and pellet of fungal isolates A1, S14, K22, M25 (isolated from tomato fields) and Trichoderma harzianum strain on germination of Phelipanche ramosa under laboratory conditions. All experiments were conducted at Biopesticides and Bio-fertilizers Department, Environment, Natural Resources and Desertification Research Institute (ENDRI), National Centre for Research (NCR), Khartoum, Sudan. Results displayed that the crude extract (pellet and supernatant) of T. harzianum and isolate K22 inhibited germination of broomrape by 90 and 83% respectively, as compared to the control. T. harzianum and isolate K22 supernatant inhibited germination of broomrape by 100 and 79% respectively as compared to the control. The pellets of the above mentioned microorganisms inhibited germination by 100 to 73%, respectively. From these results it was concluded that fungal crude extract of T. harzianum and isolate K22 are the most efficient for biological control of P. ramosa.
