Abstract :
The studies on effect of phyto-extracts for
control of Trichoderma mould in oyster mushroom
cultivation was conducted to study the efficacy of
different phytoextracts against Trichoderma mould.
Oyster mushroom is also affected by various diseases
caused by fungal and bacterial agents. Among the fungal
agents, Trichoderma mould is major mushroom infecting
pathogen. Looking to the seriousness of infecting
pathogens to the oyster mushroom, present investigation
was undertaken for isolation and identification of
Trichoderma mould and its management by using
botanicals and chemicals.
Phytoextracts viz Lantana camera, Azadirachta
indica, Ocimum sanctum, Eucalyptus sp and chemical
were screened in vitro by poisoned food technique against
Trichoderma mould. The treatment of Carbendazim +
Formalin found to be the best treatment while among the
phytoextracts neem (A. indica) @ 6% proved to be
excellent in inhibiting mycelial growth of Trichoderma
mould showing 75.19% and 32.99% per cent inhibition
respectively. The least inhibition was observed in
treatment T7 Ocimum sanctum @ 2% (6.02%) over
control.
