Abstract


Soil was enriched with chlamydospores of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum and F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis and amended with increasing concentrations of glucose and asparagine. Maximal germination of chlamydospores was obtained in soil amended with 0.4 mg of of glucose and 0.08 mg of asparagine per gram of soil. Addition of conidia of the biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum (T-35) significantly (P= 0.05) reduced the chlamydospore germination rate of both Fusaria.
