Abstract
Ascospores of Talaromyces flavus were applied to eggplant, tomato and potato as either a drench or in spherical granules (alginate prill). In subsequent samplings, the percentage colonization of roots was significantly greater than that of root tips. However, when populations of T. flavus were expressed as colony forming units g −1 fresh weight, recovery of T. flavus was significantly greater in root tips. Populations were lower in rhizosphere soil than from roots and root tips and populations in non-rhizosphere soil were the lowest of any location. Vigorous washing of the roots removed most of the T. flavus, indicating that T. flavus was superficially associated with the roots. Populations of T. flavus were greater when it was applied as a drench rather than in prill.
