Abstract
Nineteen isolates of 17 different fungal species thriving upon other fungi were tested for their ability to control sporulation of cucumber powdery mildew,Sphaerotheca fuliginea. More than half of the fungi reduced the number of healthy conidiophores to less than 10%.Tilletiopsis albescens was superior toAmpelomyces quisqualis. Three species, viz.A. quisqualis, Aphanocladium album andT. albescens, were selected for further greenhouse experiments.
Samenvatting
Negentien isolaten behorend tot 17 verschillende schimmelsoorten werden getoetst op hun bruikbaarheid voor de biologische bestrijding van komkommermeeldauw aan de hand van effecten op sporulatie. Meer dan de helft van de getoetete isolaten reduceerde het aantal gezonde conidioforen tot minder dan 10%. De werking vanTilletiopsis albescens was enigszins beter dan die van de meestal gebruikte hyperparasietAmpelomyces quisqualis. Van de getoetste schimmels werden er drie, n.l.A. quisqualis, Aphanocladium album enT. albescens, geselecteerd voor kasproeven.
