Abstract: In order to screen broad-spectrum fungal antagonist against apple pathogenic fungi for apple, two Trichoderma strains YTLY-13 and YTLY-36, which had obvious antagonistic effects against four common pathogenic fungi for apple, were isolated from orchards in a variety of places in Shandong Province via plate confrontation method and growth rate method. The results indicated that YTLY-13 and YTLY-36 were Trichoderma virens and Trichoderma harzianum respectively, based on their morphological characteristics and sequence homology of translation elongation factor 1 (TEF1),which had obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of pathogenic fungi, with the inhibition rate of 68.45%, among which the inhibition rate against Cytospora mandshurica was relatively high, reaching 73.92%. The results of field efficacy showed that the control effect of strain YTLY-36 against four fungal diseases of apple was significantly higher than that of strain YTLY-13, which was equivalent to the registered agent metiram and Bacillus subtilis, and had fast growth rate and simple fermentation, and YTLY-36 exhibited the good potential to be developed as a special broad-spectrum microbial fungicide for apple trees.
