| Abstract/Contents: | "Biomass to be used for biocontrol must (a) consist of appropriate propagules, (b) be tolerant of drying, (c) be effective in biocontrol, and (d) be produced rapidly at high levels. These criteria have been fulfilled by producing Trichoderma biomass in a modified Richard's medium (RM8) amended with osmoticant. However, the effects of medium water potential levels on biomass production of Trichoderma remain unknown. This study investigated biomass production, conidial formation and disiccation tolerance of T. harzianum in media with various water potential levels. Results indicated that addition of osmoticants to RM8 to create an osmotic potential of -2 MPa enhanced the conidial formation and CFU number after drying. Conidia so produced have excellent desiccation tolerance." |
