Aspergillus niger, Neurospora sp. AND Rhizopus sp. AS AN ANTAGONISM FUNGI IN INHIBITING THE GROWTH OF LASIODIPLODIA THEOBROMAE (SRIKAYA FRUIT ROT PATHOGEN)
Abstract
Srikaya fruit rot disease (Annona squamosa L.) is the main problem that affects the fruit when it is on the tree and after harvest. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out environmentally friendly alternative controls. Exophytic fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus sp. provided high inhibition against Lasiodiplodia theobromae (srikaya fruit rot pathogen) of 80.71 ± 1.07% and 82.92 ± 0.50%, respectively. Meanwhile, the best endophytic fungus that is able to inhibit the growth of pathogens is Neurospora sp. and Aspergillus sp. with respective inhibition of 86.67 ± 3.14% and 88.35 ± 0.46% in vitro. In vivo test results showed that the fungi A, niger and Aspergillus sp. the best inhibition of each is 100%.
