ABSTRACT
We conducted a two-year study to prove the antagonistic properties between three Trichoderma sp. strains entered into soil in compost carriers and plant pathogens of the Fusarium and Alternaria genera. Another aim of the study was to analyse the influence of these strains on the value of the biological fertility index (BIF) and the commercial yield of napa cabbage. Eleven combinations were used in the experiment, including a control variant, a variant with soil treated with a mineral fertiliser, one with manure and eight variants treated with tomato or onion waste composts. Some of them were inoculated with Trichoderma atroviride (T1) and/or T. harzianum (T2 and T3) isolates. Soil samples were collected at three terms of the investigations and they were subject to microbiological (the total count of moulds, Trichoderma sp., Fusarium sp. and Alternaria sp.) and enzymatic analyses (dehydrogenase and catalase activity). After harvesting the dry and fresh weight of napa cabbage leaves was measured. The total count of moulds and the commercial yield of napa cabbage were most strongly modified in the variant with the tomato waste compost inoculated with the T1 strain. The variants with the onion waste composts caused the greatest increase in the biological fertility index (BIF). The research showed that the phytosanitary properties of Trichoderma sp. resulted from the specificity of the species. The smallest count of Fusarium sp. was observed in the soil treated with the onion waste compost inoculated with the T1 strain. The smallest count of Alternaria sp. was noted after treatment with the tomato waste compost, which was simultaneously inoculated with two isolates, i.e. T1 and T2. Apart from that, the research proved that both types of composts were good carriers for Trichoderma sp. isolates. The tomato waste composts caused more intense proliferation of Trichoderma sp. in soil.
