Evaluation of Malaysian Isolates of Trichoderma Harzianum Rifai and Gliocladium Virens Miller, Giddens and Foster for the Biological Control of Sclerotium Foot Rot of Chilli

| description | Sclerotium foot rot of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) caused by
Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is commonly found to cause damage in
almost all the chilli growing areas in Malaysia. Conventional
methods to control the disease, for example, fungicide drenching
and crop rotation, seem to be uneconomical and impractical.
Recent years, integrated pest management strategy is being adopted for plant disease control which reduces or have lesser impact on the environment. The present study was carried out to
evaluate the Malaysian isolates of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai and
Gliocladium virens Miller, Giddens and Foster as biocontrol agents
for Sclerotium foot rot of chilli both in glasshouse and small scale
field trials. Infection mechanism of S. rolfsii on chilli plants and
the antagonistic effects of T. harzianum and G. virens on S. rolfsii
were also studied.
