| Abstract/Contents: | "Phoma herbarum was evaluated as a potential biological control agent for dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in turf. A preliminary controlled environment study identified selected adjuvants that enhanced disease severity by Phoma herbarum. Subsequently, these adjuvants were evaluated for disease enhancement under field conditions. Adjuvants evaluated included gluten flour, liposome, guar gum from ground guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), durum (Triticum durum), and pectin. Regression analysis revealed a significant (P = 0.05) increase in disease severity by Phoma herbarum when formulated with gluten flour, guar gum, or durum semolina compared to treatment with 20% mycelium in potato (Solanum tuberosum) dextrose broth (PDB) alone. No phytotoxicity to dandelion was observed among the adjuvant controls." |
