TL;DR: Benomyl (a systemic fungicide) controls soft rot of cassava tubers, and in the presence of light pycnidia are formed.
Abstract: Soft rot of cassava (Manihot utilissima Pohl) was found to be caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.) Griff. & Mobl., Trichoderma harzianum Rifai, Cylindrocarpon candidum (Link) Wollenw., Aspergillus niger van Tieghem and Aspergillusflavus Link. The organisms enter tubers through wounds, bruises and natural openings. High relative humidities (50–100%) favour rot development by L. theobromae, and in the presence of light pycnidia are formed. Benomyl (a systemic fungicide) controls soft rot of cassava tubers.

TL;DR: An extracellular enzyme preparation fromT.
Abstract: An extracellular enzyme preparation fromT. viride released spheroplasts from 33 out of 34 species of basidiomycetes tested. Snail-gut enzymes were effective in 7 cases only, and then to a lesser extent. Also with ascomycetes, the Trichoderma enzyme system was superior to snail enzymes.
