Abstract:
A biofungicide based on Bacillus subtilis QST713 was tested for impact on
yield and efficacy against a Trichoderma aggressivum f. europaeum T77 strain
from Serbia by coating mushroom grain spawn and comparing the results with
the chemical fungicide prochloraz manganese in a mushroom growing room. The
tested B. subtilis QST713 strain did not inhibit mycelial growth of Agaricus
bisporus in plots free of the pathogen, showing an impact on yield of
91.95%, which was not significantly different from an untreated control. As
for the efficacy of the fungicides used against T. aggressivum f. europaeum
T77, there were no significant differences between a prochloraz manganese
casing treatment, and B. subtilis QST713 coating on mushroom grain spawn, as
the efficacy was 70.37 and 53.09%, respectively. These results implied that
the biofungicide based on B. subtilis could serve as a harmless alternative
to synthetic fungicides in mushroom production, especially during serious
compost green muold outbreaks caused by T. aggressivum. Furthermore, the
biofungicide should be applied alone because an antagonistic reaction was
detected between the fungicide prochloraz and B. subtilis QST713.
