Mousumi Bhadra

An investigation was conducted to find out the association of Ganoderma spp. with the mortality of Acacia auriculiformis at Jahangirnagar University Campus, Bangladesh. Diseases severity of the tree was calculated where the highest (52.2 %) incidence was recorded in site-1 of the study area. Isolation and identification of the Ganoderma spp. and Trichoderma spp. were carried out. A total of 11 hosts were examined for examine the susceptibility of Ganoderma on host. All of the wild Ganoderma spp. viz., G. lucidum-1, G. lucidum-2, G. lucidum-3 and G. applanatum preferred to use saw dust of Mangifera indica followed by Ceriops decandra whereas the least performance recorded in Albizia procera and Dipterocarpus turbinatus. Trichoderma isolates found effective to control Ganoderma infestation under field conditions.
