Effect of Different Application Methods of Trichoderma harzianum T2-16 on Peanut Growth Promotion and Disease Prevention
Seed dressing and seed soaking with Trichoderma harzianum T2-16 were applied to pea- nut in order to research the effect of Trichoderma on disease prevention and growth promotion in pea- nut. Results indicated that the effect of two application methods of Trichoderma on disease prevention and growth promotion was better than the control, and the effect of Trichoderma dressed seed was better than that of Trichoderrna soaked seed. The pod yield, the plump pod yield and the kernel yield of peanut treated by seed dressing were 32.3%, 36.8% and 33.8% more than that of control, respec- tively. Its blighted pod weight was 29.8% less than that of control. The incidence of leaf spot was 8.79% less than that of control, which showed the efficiency of disease prevention was 64.6 %. The number of rotten pod was 3.18 less than that control, which showed the efficiency of disease prevention was 60.6%.
