  Faba bean (Vicia fabae L.) is one of the most important pulse crops in Ethiopia and is now cultivated on large areas in many countries. In most growing areas, however, the production of the crop is constrained by several disease infections, including fungal diseases. Black root rot caused by Fusarium solani is the most destructive disease of faba bean. The antagonistic potentials of locally isolated Trichoderma spp. from rhizosphere soils of faba bean plants in the highlands of northeastern Ethiopia were evaluated against F. solani, responsible for black root rot. All isolates of Trichoderma spp. had strong biological control activity against F. solani in vitro as well as in vivo pot experiment. Under dual culture, the percentage of mycelial growth inhibition of F. solani by the Trichoderma ranged from 33.9 to 67.0%. The highest (67.0%) inhibition was.. View More»
