T. gamsii YIM PH30019, isolated as an endophytic fungus,
showed no pathogenicity to the host plant of P. notoginseng, and
presented favorable biocontrol efficacy in vitro and field evaluation
with continuous cropping soil. It could grow well in high concentrations
of chemical fertilizers, produce a plenty of VOCs to inhibit
the growth of pathogenic fungi, and protect notoginseng against
infection by phytopathogens. These results indicate that T. gamsii
YIM PH30019 can be used as a promising biocontrol agent against
the phytopathogenic fungi of P. notoginseng. In-depth studies
should be carried out in different and complex field conditions to
evaluate its biocontrol efficacy and influence on indigenous microbial
communities, as well as the effect of agro approaches
(chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, etc.) on T. gamsii YIM
PH30019.
