Abstract

Biocontrol of parsley powdery mildew, caused by Oidium sp., was examined for 3 years under greenhouse conditions using a filamentous fungus, strain Kyu-W63, which produces antifungal volatiles. Kyu-W63 was cultured on potato-dextrose agar in sterile polycarbonate pots and then placed at 30-cm intervals in the center of each ridge in 1998, 1999, and 2000. This Kyu-W63 treatment significantly inhibited disease severity compared to control plots.
