most ThzID1-M3 DNA on days 14–21 probably originated from dormant
propagules. Trends of ThzID1-M3 DNA levels over time were
similar with those of generic Trichoderma since a majority of Trichoderma
DNA originated from ThzID1-M3. Fsp significantly inhibited
the proliferation of total Trichoderma spp., and indigenous Trichoderma
where ThzID1-M3 was not applied. Although results of both
trials showed similar overall patterns, a scale difference in DNA
of ThzID1-M3 and generic Trichoderma was apparent since there
were a quantitative difference of hyphal biomass in the pellets and
possibly qualitative and quantitative differences in the indigenous
microbial community.
