Penicillium simplicissimum and Trichoderma asperellum counteract the challenge of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici in wheat plants

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control

Table 2 Adult plant reactions of wheat (cv. Sids-12) and colony size of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici treated with Penicillium Simplicissimum and Trichoderma asperellum

Treatment	Adult plant reaction	Colony size (mm²)
Penicillium simplicissimum	10 MR*	0.6 b
Trichoderma asperellum	10 MR	0.6 b
Control (non-treated)	90 S	8.0 a

*10 MR = 10% moderately resistant, 90 S = 90% susceptible
Data are average of three replicates
Means followed by the same letter(s) in a column are not significantly different at P ≤ 0.05
