Review: Alternatives to synthetic fungicides for Botrytis cinerea management in vineyards (2010, background): “Biofungicides are predominantly preventative treatments and are generally not effective post-infection (Whipps and Lumsden 2001) so need to be applied when climatic conditions are conducive to vine colonisation by the BCA, before periods of high vine vulnerability, such as flowering and leaf pluckin”
ESSENTIAL OILS AND TRICHODERMA HARZIANUM AS AN INTEGRATED CONTROL MEASURE AGAINST FABA BEAN ROOT ROT PATHOGENS (2011, background): “Trichoderma spp. are well documented as effective biological control agents of plant diseases caused by soilborne fungi (Sivan and Chet 1986; Whipps and Lumsden 2001; McLean et al. 2004).”
Biocontrol potential of Trichoderma martiale against the black-pod disease (Phytophthora palmivora) of cacao. (2009, background): “When disease pressure increases or an outbreak occurs, maximal levels of protection are needed, such that chemical fungicides tend to exhibit an efficient shortterm control effect, which can be later sustained by the BCA (Harman, 1996; Whipps and Lumsden, 2001; Backman and Sikora, 2008).”
Biofungicides as alternative to synthetic fungicide control of grey mould (Botrytis cinerea) – prospects and challenges (2018, background): “Application time and compatibility with other products Biofungicides are only preventive and will not ‘cure’ crops that have been infected already (Whipps & Lumsden, 2001).”
Biology and biocontrol potential of Ampelomyces mycoparasites, natural antagonists of powdery mildew fungi (2004, background): “AQ10 Biofungicide is one of the few biocontrol products developed against fungal plant pathogens (Whipps & Lumsden, 2001), with the result that Ampelomyces mycoparasites are among the most studied biocontrol agents.”
Effect of Moisture on Trichoderma Conidia Production on Corn and Wheat Bran by Solid State Fermentation (2008, background): “have gained wide acceptance as effective BCAs against several commercial phytopathogens (Whipps and Lumsden 2001).”
