BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF FUSARIUM DISEASE OF GLADIOLUS |
| Author: | R.O. Magie |
| Abstract:
Inoculation with Fusariummoniliforme 'Subglutinans Snyd. & Hans. protected gladiolus corms from infection by the fusarium yellows and corm rot pathogen. F. oxysporum f.sp. gladioli (Massey) Snyd. & Hans. Freshly harvested corms were cleaned and treated with fungicides or dipped in a spore suspension of F. moniliforme 'Subglutinans' isolate M-685 or M-699. Inoculation with M-685 protected corms of 2 cultivars against fusarium rot as well as or better than benomyl and captan. M-685 was superior to the fungicides where corms were inoculated with the pathogen, F. oxysporum, before fungicidal treatment or inoculation with M-685 culture. | |
