Abstract
The virulence ofThielaviopsis basicola towardsCucurbita maxima var. ‘True Hubbard’ was enhanced by an Agrobacterium isolate and more acutely by the culture filtrate of the bacterium as measured by the increase in the number of chlamydospores of the fungus and decrease in the wet weight of infected plants.
