Overview

Randomized trial evaluates biocontrol agents and plant-based biopesticides against garlic storage disease, suggesting eco-friendly solutions.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate eco-friendly methods to manage storage rot disease in garlic caused by Aspergillus niger.
  • Tested four isolates of Trichoderma species and six plant-based biopesticides under in vitro and storage conditions.
  • Assessed the mycelial growth inhibition of A. niger by biocontrol agents and biopesticides.
  • Conducted compatibility studies of biocontrol agents with aqueous biopesticides.
  • Trichoderma koningii inhibited mycelial growth by 69.99%.
  • Aqueous extract of Ocimum sanctum showed 33.34% mycelial inhibition.
  • Pre-inoculation with T. koningii resulted in 6.20% disease incidence and a 5.34% disease index.
