Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Corn-cob formulation consistently enhanced biocontrol activity.
- Observation Half of eggplants without T. flavus wilted by day 59.
- Intervention effect More than half of eggplants treated with T. flavus in pyrophyllite prill remained symptomless at day 90.
- Intervention effect T. flavus in soy-fiber prill delayed median symptom onset by about 10 days in some experiments.
- Association Carrier, soil, and sampling time had highly significant interactions in T. flavus proliferation.
- Observation Some T. flavus populations increased across the 18-week soil assay.
- Observation Other T. flavus populations remained constant or decreased across the assay.
- Intervention effect Wheat-bran prill produced greater T. flavus populations in two soils during the first two weeks.
- Intervention effect Peanut-hull prill produced greater T. flavus populations in loamy sand at weeks 8 and 12.
- Intervention effect Pyrophyllite prill had a significantly greater carbon-to-nitrogen ratio than other carriers.
- Intervention effect Corn-cob prill had a significantly greater carbon-to-nitrogen ratio than other carriers.
- Association Carrier identity significantly affected T. flavus survival at 5 C and ambient temperature.
- Observation T. flavus survival was best in corn-cob, soy-fiber, and peanut-hull prill at both temperatures.
- Intervention effect Temperature did not alter the T. flavus survival pattern over 18 weeks.
