Moleculer identification of endophyric fyngi that potential as biological agent to control of pod rot disease (Phytophthora palmivora (butler) Butler)

Production and cocoa plantation area in Indonesia every year decline, one cause is the outbreak of the cocoa black pod disease.  The results showed that the antagonistic fungi were found based on the DNA sequences are Lasiodiplodia euphorbicola, Diaphorte tectonae, Colletotrichum siamense, Aspergillus flavus, Candida parapsilogis, and Aspergillus sydowii. The results of the best inhibition shown by the endophytic fungus L. euphorbicola, thus passed field trials which showed that the higher the concentration of spore suspension the better the power suppress fungal antagonists against P. palmivora. The best concentration that colonies of the petri dish was dissolved in 150 ml of sugar solution (10%).
