numbers did not increase (Knudsen et al., 1991).
When applied as wheat bran,T. harzianumpropagules had increased 600-fold at harvest (Ruppel et al.,
1983). Mass production and delivery ofT. harzianum
using dried banana leaf (1) were cost effective, (2)
had a long shelf-life, (3) supported high propagules
density, (4) were easy to formulate and, (5) were
readily adopted by farmers
