Abstract | ||||
Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to identify the most effective and applicable formulation of B. subtils and Sterptomyces sp. either singly or in combination for controUing Acremonium wilt ¡n sorghum cv. Giza 113 .The single and combined (1:1) inocula of B. subtilis (isolate No. 9), Streptomyces sp. (isolate No. 3) as wefl as the fungicide Occidor Plus (carbendazim 50 % S.C.) significantly (p < O.05) reduced Acremonium wilt incidence ¡n grain sorghum plants grown in pots. The tested can ters i.e., vermiculite, peat-moss, kaolinite, bentonite, wheat bran and talc powder favoured the antagonistic capabilities of single and combined inocula bioagents. Data of the field experiment showed no significant difference between a combination of the two bioagents and the fungicide with respect to average percentage of infechon and average grain yield. Vermiculite-entrapped cells were superior in reducing infection tol9.83 % and increasing grain yield to 127.6 g.plant1 compared to 25.75 % and 113.0 g.planí1 for control, respectively.The data suggested the use of a combined inoculum cf the examined boagents entrapped on vermiculite for control of Acrernonium wilt in grain sorghum plants. | ||||
