Containment of Fusarium culmorum and Its Mycotoxins in Various Biological Systems by Antagonistic Trichoderma and Clonostachys Strains.

ABSTRACT: Prevention of fungal diseases caused by Fusarium species, including F. culmorum, and thus the accumulation of mycotoxins in wheat ears, is a constant challenge focused on the development of new, effective crop management solutions. One of the currently most ecologically attractive approaches is biological control using natural antagonistic microorganisms. With this in mind, the antagonistic potential of thirty-three Clonostachys and Trichoderma strains was assessed in this work. Screening tests were carried out in in vitro cultures, and the observed potential of selected Trichoderma and Clonostachys strains was verified in field and semi-field experiments with two forms of wheat: winter cv. Legenda and spring cv. Bombona. Three strains, namely C
