The study aims to evaluate Trichoderma species as a biological control method against Rhizoctonia solani root rot in faba beans.
Pathogenicity of R. solani isolates determined in vitro and greenhouse conditions.
In vitro antagonistic testing of Trichoderma atroviride and Trichoderma asperellum using dual culture techniques.
Greenhouse trials compared Trichoderma treatments with a standard fungicide.
Trichoderma species inhibited mycelia growth of R. solani by over 85%.
Application of Trichoderma reduced root rot incidence and increased healthy plant survival compared to the infected control.
T. asperellum showed greater disease suppression than T. atroviride, but chemical fungicides were most effective.
