Five commercially available biological control organisms significantly inhibited Cladosporium cladosporioides mycelial growth in laboratory plate assays. The tested Trichoderma sp. was the most effective, reducing Cladosporium development on raspberry fruit by 28% preventatively and 27% curatively in field studies. This dataset, authored by Lauren Helen Farwell and last updated in 2026, presents results from dual-culture plate assays and field applications.
Use Cases
- Compare the efficacy of different biological control agents based on the described plate assay results.
- Evaluate the performance of preventive versus curative field applications based on the described experimental outcomes.
- Model the potential for Trichoderma-based biocontrol in raspberry production based on the reported percentage reductions.
Strengths
- Results from both laboratory plate assays and field applications are included.
- Specific efficacy percentages (28% preventative, 27% curative) are reported for the top-performing agent.
- Data is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
- The dataset is very small at 24.1 KB, indicating limited scope.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
- Source
- figshare
- Collection Method
- Data likely originates from controlled laboratory plate assays and field experiments on raspberry plants.
- Freshness
- Last updated 2026-05-11 05:29:24; freshness should be verified.
- Geography
- The research addresses issues reported by UK growers, suggesting a likely UK context.
