Determination of antifungal spectrum and evaluation of antifungal activity of Trichoderma viride B3 strain
In order to explore the antifungal spectrum and antifungal activity of Trichoderma viride B3 strain,the con-frontation culture and microscopic observation were used to determine and clarify the antifungal spectrum and mecha-nism of T.viride B3 strain.The results showed that T.viride B3 strain had antagonistic effects against 8 plant patho-genic fungi.It had the strongest inhibition effect on the colony growth of Monilia spp.and Botrytis cinerea among the 8 plant pathogenic fungi,with the growth inhibition rates of 90.8% and 88.9%,respectively,and the antagonistic level went to Grade I;while it had the weakest inhibition effect on the growth of Alternaria mali,with the inhibition rate of 48.2% and the antagonistic level went to Grade Ⅲ.The observation of confrontation culture showed that,when T.viride B3 strain and Monilia spp.contacted with each other,T.viride B3 strain quickly occupied the nutri-tional growth space of the pathogenic fungi,the contact between colonies and pathogen colonies made pathogen hyphae entangled,expanded,contracted and dissolved.In conclusion,T.viride B3 strain had antagonistic effect a-gainst Monilia sp.and B.cinerea.
