Abstract
Verticillium dahliae is a soil inhabiting fungus that causes wilt diseases on over 250 different plant species worldwide. In most hosts there is no agronomically acceptable resistance to this pathogen, and with the exception of the broad spectrum biocides such as metham-sodium and methyl bromide, there are no chemicals which will control this pathogen. Moreover, use of these chemicals often is not economically feasible and these chemicals may have adverse ecological consequences. For these reasons, a program to investigate alternative control measures for v. dahliae, such as biocontrol, was initiated.
