1- Hi All,I am working with Alternaria Solani and using different bacterial strains as bio-control on PDA , But A.solani stop it's growth after 4,5 days on PDA . Even i try on different temperature as well. Can any one let me know about this issue, which media should i used for this.
2- Does anyone use Yeast as bio-control against Alternaria Solani , If YES Please provide recommendations for yeast
Please share your experience regarding above issues.
Many Thanks
Dear Muhammad Imran ,,
The fungus Alternaria solani can, t produces conidia in the media. You can use selective medium for encouragement it to produce conidia.
Yes, yeasts can be used as bioagent factors against Alternaria solani.
You can see the article titeled:

A lso you can see the attached article which about using the yeast as biocontrol agent. It may be useful.
Try it on media prepared by using fresh potato starch instead of using PDA powder. But recently it grow well on PDA media prepared from PDA powder at 25 degree celcius temperature in our lab.
Yehya A. Salih Appreciated, I am already studying that article
Thank you very Much
You are most welcome dear Mohammad Imran with my highly appreciation.
Best greetings.
