Antagonistic effects of selected microbes on Fusarium spp. / Ida Hani Ali

A study was conducted to evaluate the antagonistic activities of selected fungal and bacterial species which included Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum, Trichoderma reesei, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens towards the plant pathogens, F...
