Isolation and identification of moniliophthora roreri causing moniliasis in municipalities of northeastern Colombia and preliminary trials for its biological control Aislamiento e identificación de moniliophthora roreri causante de la moniliasis en municipios del nororiente colombiano y ensayos preliminares para su control biológico

Abstract

This proyect of researching defines the influence zones of the Moniliasis. In this project was isolated and identified the Moniliophthora roreri, the disease is caused by this fungus. 56 samples were goteen in Agua Clara, Tibú, Sardinata, El Tarra, Bucarasica, El Zulia, Teorama and Cúcuta in the Colombia Nororiente. The fungus was identified in a morphological level by means of microscopical test, the samples were conserved on the plates, added potato dextrose agar. Preliminary of antagonistic inhibition though the Igarashi technique, they were made on Trichoderma sp. El Zulia, Trichoderma sp. Iscalá, Trichoderma sp. of Cuba, where it was demonstrated that the controlling biological of phytopathogen Moniliophthora roreri. Finally, 55% of results were obtained from antagonistic inhibition. Also, the isolations of six new stocks of Trichoderma sp. were made, and a Bacillus sp. too.
