Use of Trichoderma as integrated pest management against Fusarium ears on cereals (FUSAKILL)

SPS’innov project selected in 2016

Coordination: Marie Dufresne

Industrial partner: Confidential

The objective of this project is to set up a biocontrol method for the control of the wheat pathogen Fusarium graminearum (FHB main agent). This project relies upon the use of Brachypodium distachyon which biological data generated have been successfully transfered to wheat. Strains of Trichoderma have been characcterized for their ability ton control F. graminearum in planta.
