Physiological impact of Trichoderma viride agents on the quality and production of melon that is grown on soils continuously cropped to melon by Jingyi Liu, Hua Lian, Jingwei Dou, Jingjing Li, Guangliang Zhu, Jiatong Wang, Guangshu Ma, Mei Li

“…The results showed that different amounts of T. viride agents could improve physiological and biochemical indices of melon leaves during the fruiting stage; the treatment of 6.4 × 105 CFU/g was the most effective; chlorophyll content, nitrate nitrogen content, sucrose content, reducing sugar content, free proline content, nitrate reductase (NR) activity, peroxidase (POD) activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of melon leaves increased at 30 days after melon pollination. Melon quality and yield was also enhanced by the use of T. viride agents, with the treatment of 6.4 × 105 CFU/g T. viride agents having the best boosting effects. …”
