Abstract

Coating cotton seeds with Trichoderma spp. reduced the incidence of disease caused by R. solani by up to 83% in the greenhouse. T. hamatum was more efficient in disease control at 20°C, while T. harzianum was superior at 27°C. Disease severity was reduced by 47-60% in two field experiments, showing no statistical difference from treatment with pentachloronitrobenzene.
