Abstract

---

Trichoderma harzianum and T. longibrachiatum were found to inhibit the in vitro growth of S. rolfsii and produced coiling around mycelium of S. rolfsii resulting in lysis of hyphae. T. pseudokoningii, T. polysporum and Gliocladium virens also inhibited the growth of S. rolfsii. Where Aspergillus niger, A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. terreus, A. nidulans, A. sulphureus, A. parasiticus, A. tamarii, A. versicolar, A. versiclar and A. wentii were used, colonies of Aspergillus spp., and S. rolfsii met each other but S. rolfsii later overgrew the colonies of Aspergillus spp.
