Research Showcase

DescriptionChanging how the world understands spores. Professor Alison Stewart, Director of the Lincoln University-based Bio-Protection Research Centre, says her research group develops microbial biocontrol products to control plant diseases on economically important crops. One of those beneficial microbes is Trichoderma, a fungus which is naturally present in soil. Researchers have used it to develop a wide range of different products including Tenet®, where the fungus is incorporated into small granules applied to the soil to control onion white rot disease. Project: Microbial Products. Researchers: Professor Alison Stewart, Dr Johanna Steyaert, Dr Richard Weld.PeopleAlison Stewart | Johanna Steyaert | Richard WeldPersonAlison StewartJohanna SteyaertRichard WeldOrganisationLincoln UniversityDate2011-2012Keywordsresearchmicrobial biocontrol productssporesplant disease controlbeneficial microbesTrichoderma sporulationFilenameChanging how the world understands sporesSourceTransform 2011-2012 page 88.Faculty / Research CentreBio-Protection Research CentreItem Reference0001273
