Endophytic fungi from wild banana (Musa acuminata Colla) works against anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum musae

Screening of endophytic fungi which antagonize Colletotrichum musae, the cause of anthracnose disease, was carried out. The in vitro screening was studied by dual culture method. The inhibition due to fast competitive growth of Cordana sp. (KPP-3) and the antibiotic producing endophyte; Nodulisporiu...
