Several fungi and bacteria species are known as potential antagonists usable as biological control agents. Phosphonate (H3PO3), commonly branded as phosphite, has also been used in the past years to protect trees against invasive Phytophthora spp.. This study aimed at comparing the effects of selected antagonist microorganisms and phosphonate, when applied by microinjection or leaf treatment. Antagonistic species were first selected for their high inhibitory activity against problematic Phytophthora species, such as Phytophthora cactorum, P. quercina and P. plurivora attacking Quercus robur and Fagus sylvatica in Polish forests. Three endophytic species Trichoderma atroviride (two strains), T. harzianum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens showed a high control activity, and their efficacy was then assessed in comparison with a phosphonate treatment. Two application methods were experimented in this study: injection of a solution of spores or phosphonate into the sap vessels of beech or a foliar treatment on oak. Phosphonate and two strains of Trichoderma significantly reduced the necrotic area on oak leaves inoculated with P. plurivora and one strain of T. atroviride significantly reduced necrotic areas on beech branches. These results are therefore promising of a novel way to control Phytophthora spp. in forest stands and nurseries.展开更多

[ Methods] Using flat isolation and culture method, the bacteria that could produce Bacillus spp. were isolated from rhizosphere soil, and carried out primary and secondary screening by confrontation culture. The lipopeptide substances of Y-3 strain with better antifungal effect were carried out I-IPLC analysis. [Result] Nine strains of bacteria had certain antagonistic effects against P. infestans in primary screening, Y-1 and Y-3 strains had significant inhibition effect against the growth of P. infestans in secondary screening, with inhibition rate higher than 80% ; the crude extract of lipepeptide produced by Y-3 strain had better antagonistic effect against P. infestans, with inhibition rate higher than 90%. HPLC analysis showed that the crude extract of lipepeptide mainly contained 8 components. [ Conclusion] The lipopeptide substances produced by Y-3 strain had significant inhibition effect, which had potential application value for biological control of potato late blight.展开更多
