Summary
Experiments on nutrient and staled agar were carried out to investigate the mycoparasitic activity of some fusaria againstRhizoctonia solani Kühn. Penetration and coiling byFusarium oxysporum Sch.,F. semitectum Berk & Rav. andF. udum Butler in and around theR. solani hyphae was observed. Lysis ofF. udum hyphae was observed inside theR. solani hyphae showing the reverse of the normal direction of necrotrophic mycoparasitic relationships. The mycoparasitic activity ofFusarium spp. was much affected in staled agar plates.
