ABSTRACT:
A method for the biological control of various weeds such as sicklepod using the fungus Myrothecium verrucaria. In a typical application, conidia of the fungus are applied with liquid surfactant to the weeds in amounts effective to produce typical plant lesions which kill or suppress, and thus control, the weeds. In another embodiment, phytotoxin produced by the fungus is used to control the weeds. In still another embodiment a synergistic combination of M. verrucaria and the fungus Alternaria cassiae is used to control sicklepod and in a fourth embodiment phytotoxin produced by M. verrucaria is used synergistically with A. cassiae to control sicklepod. A strain of M. verrucaria is on deposit with the Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, La. and with the patent collection of the International Mycological Institute in Surrey, UK and has been assigned the number IMI 368023.
