Field evaluation of spent pleurotus ostreatus substrate reveals limited suppression of fusarium wilt in banana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178838
Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of banana, can persist in the soil for extended periods as chlamydospores or endophytes in weeds, complicating control measures. No single control strategy is effective. Biological agents present an increasingly important control option. This study explored the potential of the spent P. ostreatus substrates…
