Effect of <i>Trichoderma</i> species, T-685 and T-720, on preventing mass loss from basidiomycetes after 12 weeks incubation on wood.

<p>Different letters indicate significant differences between the <i>Trichoderma</i> treatments and the controls. Shared numbers indicate the subgroups (wood destroying basidiomycete) of the analysis after the Tukey’s HDS test (<i>p</i><0.05). Data represented as mean ± SD of three biological replicates.</p

Lethal effect of <i>Trichoderma</i> strains against Cu-tolerant basidiomycetes.

<p>Data represented as mean of five subsamples from three biological replicates.</p

Measured Tan Delta (plain colour circles) versus strain and the final model from the lmer model with fixed effects (solid colour lines) for both <i>Linum usitatissimum</i> cv. Drakkar and cv. Eden.

<p>All parameters were log-transformed. Legend: type is type of wound (C: Control/no wound, L: Longitudinal wound, T: Transversal wound).</p
