Bulletin of the National Research Centre

Table 1 Growth area (cm²) and number of sclerotia/cm² of Stromatinia cepivora isolate (Sc8) in dual culture with Trichoderma species as well as in tebuconazole and control

Treatment	Growth area (cm²)^a	Reduction (%)	No. of sclerotia in (cm²)	Reduction (%)
T. harzianum	06.75 ± 0.14 c^a	90.4	19.00 ± 1.00 d	76.3
T. koningii	06.13 ± 0.13 c	91.2	38.50 ± 0.50 b	51.9
T. virens	09.25 ± 0.48 b	86.8	31.50 ± 0.87 c	60.6
Tebuconazole^b	00.00 ± 0.00 d	100.0	00.00 ± 0.00 e	100.0
Control	70.0 ± 0.00 a	–	80.0 ± 0.00 a	–

Values are mean of four replicates for each treatment as well as the control
Means ± standard error within a column followed by the same letter are not significantly different by Duncan multiple range test at P < 0.05
^aGrowth area (cm²) of S. cepivora was calculated using a planimeter
^bThe fungicide tebuconazole was used at the recommended dose of 1 ml Folicur/L
