16th April 2012:

MBPP Conference

Presented a talk illustrating my [most] recent results regarding antagonistic interactions between plants, necrotrophic fungi and saprophytic fungi. It would appear that Trichoderma hamatum display both plant growth promoting and biocontrol abilities when brassica crops are inoculated with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. A significant difference in both fresh and dry root/ shoot weights show that crop protection as well as enhanced plant growth is achievable with Trichoderma hamatum.
