Abstract:
Effect of soil drenching of carbendazim, thiram and copper oxychloride on the survival and competitive
saprophytic ability (CSA) of Trichoderma viride was investigated. Thiram caused a marked reduction of the
survival and CSA of T. viride. Copper oxychloride supported the survival and CSA. Carbendazim had an
intermediate effect. Toxic effect of thiram and carbendazim persisted for 30 days and thereafter T. viride
showed reinfestation capacity.
