Abstract:   (6603 Views)
The effect of various pesticides (diflubenzuro, malathion, mancozeb and carbendazim), disinfectants (calcium hypochlorite and formaldehyde) and oil cakes (sunflower and soy-bean oil cakes) commonly used as supplements in mushroom cultivation on the growth of the nematophagous fungus, Arthrobotrys oligospora, was studied under in vitro conditions. Carbenazim caused 99% inhibition of radial mycelial growth in Petri dishes at all concen-trations tested (10-40 µg a. i. ml-1) in comparison to non treated dishes. Mancozeb caused 43% and 23% inhibition at 250 and 500 µg a. i. ml-1 respectively and 99% inhibition at concentration of 1000 µg a. i. ml-1 and above. Diflubenzuro and malathion at 10-40 µg a. i. ml-1 caused 30-41% and 24-54% inhibition, respectively. Formalin (0.5-2.0% v/v) inhib-ited growth of A. oligospora completely. However, calcium hypochlorite, sunflower and soybean oil cake at concentrations of up to 2.0% w/v caused less than 3.5% inhibition.
