Abstract:
The basis of microbial means of plant protection against diseases is live cultures of microorganisms with high virulence and their metabolic products. The leading role in the biological control of plant diseases is assigned to microscopic fungi. A special place is occupied by the genus Trichoderma Pers. ex Fr. The advantages are a high growth rate, a wide range of antifungal activity, and simple equipment for cultivation on an industrial scale. During the evaluation of the fungicidal action spectrum of the liquid biopreparation Gliocladin-SC (the active substance is the fungus Trichoderma virens Miller, Giddens, and Foster), 18 pathogenic agents of crop diseases causative agents were identified (Scerbacova T., 2019). Several liquid nutrient media were used in the present work. When the medium composition changed according to the carbon source, in addition to chlamydospores, conidia and blastospores were formed. In the result of the conducted research, it was found that for the successful application of Gliocladin-SC biopreparation in plant protection against a wide range of diseases, separate balanced nutrient media for controlling different groups of pathogens are needed.
