The Biocontrol Potential of Endophytic Trichoderma Fungi Isolated from Hungarian Grapevines, Part II, Grapevine Stimulation.

ABSTRACT: In the first part of this two-piece publication, the isolation, identification and in vitro characterization of ten endophytic Trichoderma isolates were reported. Here we report the ability of two different mixes of some of these isolates (Trichoderma simmonsii, Trichoderma orientale and Trichoderma gamsii as well as of Trichoderma afroharzianum and T. simmonsii) to colonize and stimulate the growth of grapevines. Two commercial vineyards about 400 km away from the site of isolation were used as experimental fields, from which the strains of three Trichoderma species were re-isolated up to four years after rootstock soaking treatment with conidiospores, performed before planting. The treatments decreased the overall percentage of lost plants of abo
