| Abstract | This research demonstrates the role of antimicrobial volatiles produced by Muscodor albus in disease control in soil and potting mix. The volatiles controlled damping-off of broccoli seedlings when pots containing soil or soilless potting mix infested with Rhizoctonia solani were placed in the presence of active M. albus culture without physical contact in closed containers. Conversely, plugs of R. solani on potato dextrose agar were inhibited when they were placed in the presence of M. albus incorporated into garden soil or soilless potting mix. Gas chromatographic analysis with solid-phase micro extraction showed that isobutyric acid and 2-methyl-1-butanol were released from the treated substrates. There was a significant relationship between the production of isobutyric acid in soil and damping-off control (P = 0.0415). Production of isobutyric acid was short-lived in treated substrates, peaking at 24 h in potting mix and 48 h in soil. Amounts of isobutyric acid released from soil were several times higher than those released from potting mix. Also, higher rates of M. albus rye grain culture were required to control damping-off in potting mix than in soil. This suggests that the soil used in this study is a better environment than soilless potting mix for the biological activity or viability of M. albus and components from the potting mix might bind the volatiles. The release of volatiles from soil during the biofumigation process suggests that containment measures such as tarping could be used to improve the control of soil-borne diseases and reduce use rate of the biocontrol agent. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
