Abstract

The antagonist, Talaromyces tratensis KUFA 0091, displayed the ability to control stem end rot caused by L. theobromae on mango cv. ‘Nam Dok Mai’ and ‘Nam Dok Mai no. 4’. The results showed that mango treated with spore suspension of T. tratensis KUFA 0091 at 106 spores/ mL exhibited significant suppression (P < 0.05) of lesion development of up to 85% and 77% on mango cv. ‘Nam Dok Mai’ and ‘Nam Dok Mai no. 4’, respectively, when compared to the control objects. The best suppression of the average lesion was observed on mango cv. “Nam Dok Mai no. 4” when treated with spore suspension at 106 spores/ mL, which resulted in reduction of lesion development from 19.57 cm2 to 2.79 cm2. The results of this study show the potential of T. tratensis KUFA 0091 as a potent agent against mango stem end rot caused by L. theobromae.
