Trichoderma sp. as a microbial suppressive agent of Sclerotium rolfsii on vegetables

Trichoderma sp. was shown to be effective in preventing the growth of the plant pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii and the consequent rotting of Beta vulgaris L., Daucus carota L., Amorphophallus campanulatus Blume and Momordica charantia L. under post-harvest conditions. It may be useful as a protecting agent during storage and transport of vegetables.
