An In vitro Test for Evaluating the Efficacy of Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. on the Uredospore Germination of Rust (Puccinia arachidis) of Peanut

Abstract

In vitro germination and germ tube growth of Puccinia arachidis uredospores were reduced significantly with conidia and culture filtrates of Fusarium solani. The antagonistic capabilities of F. solani indicates its potential for use in biological control of peanut rust (P. arachidis).
