16. Postharvest Biological control of Fusarium dry-rot diseases in potato tubers using Clonostachys rosea strain IK726
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : The common saprophytic fungus Clonostachys rosea (Glicocladium rosea) has been reported for its biological control capacity against plant pathogenic fungi. Postharvest application of C. rosea strain IK726 and the mechanism of action against potato dry rot disease are not properly investigated. READ MORE

17. Oosporbildning av Phythophthora infestans i potatis och bägarnattskatta
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Potato late blight is one of the most important potato diseases worldwide. The disease is caused by an oomycete called Phytophthora infestans. The host range of P. infestans includes potato (Solanum tuberosum) and hairy nightshade (Solanum physalifolium). READ MORE

18. Fungi associated with roots of healthy-looking Scots pines and Norway spruce seedlings grown in nine Swedish forest nurseries
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Soil fungal diversity is essential in ecosystem functioning. Disturbances in the fungal community as a result of abiotic or biotic factors may lead to diseases in the plants. This thesis work was aimed at investigating fungal species composition in healthy looking Norway spruce and Scots pine seedlings grown in nine Swedish forest nurseries. READ MORE

19. The effect of combining two biological control microbes on seed and root colonization
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Clonostachys rosea strain IK726 and Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain MA342 are two promising biocontrol microbes which both has various biocontrol mechanisms to control many seed and soil-borne plant diseases. Because a potential additive effect may exist between these two biocontrol microbes, like an expanded antagonistic spectrum and enhanced persistence of biocontrol effect, we expected to get a more competitive biocontrol with a mixture of IK726 and MA342.

20. Compost and its effects on soilborne plant pathogens
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Certain microbial residents from composts are known to possess the ability to suppress soilborne plant pathogens. Trichoderma spp. and Gliocladium spp. are commonly found in composts and are perhaps the most wellknown hyperparasites of fungal pathogens, which may also be naturally present in compost. READ MORE
