Abstract/Contents:"Alginate pellet formulations of biocontrol fungi may control plant pathogens, weeds, and insect pests, but the time required for rehydration and subsequent hyphal outgrowth and/or sporulation may limit their efficacy under some environmental conditions. We formulated fermentor biomass of Trichoderma harzianum in alginate/bran pellets, allowed the pellets to dry only partially, primed them in a 40% aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol for 12-24 hr, then allowed them to dry. On water agar, colony radii from primed pellets were 45-98% larger after 24-48 hr (22 C) than from unprimed pellets, and conidia were produced about 48 hr sooner. Similar results were observed in steamed soil, and with the insect biocontrol fungus Beauveria bassiana."
