Screening of Trichoderma Species for Biological Control Activity on Aspergillus flavus
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sixteen species of Trichoderma isolated from soil were screened according to the dual culture essays, antibiosis inhibiting test, and aflatoxin inhibition test on peanuts. TISTR3167 and C1-1 were selected for their better inhibition of aflatoxins and growth of Aspergillus flavus.
Keywords: Trichoderma, Aspergillus flavus, aflatoxin
