“Mycoparasitism/antagonism of Venturia inaequalis by orchard-floor fungi reducing ascospore production is well-documented in IPM literature; mechanism and effect direction are biologically consistent.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“Mycoparasitism of Venturia inaequalis pseudothecia on orchard-floor leaves by antagonistic fungi (e.g., Trichoderma, Cladosporium) reducing ascospore production is well-documented in biocontrol literature.”
