- Abstract
In this study it has been attempted to characterize some isolates of Cryphonectria parasitica both virulent and hypovirulent and to test the efficiency of the hypovirulent isolate as a biocontrol agent. After the identification of the two types of Cryphonectria parasitica isolates, they were grown in co-culture ant it was observed that the hypovirulent isolate grew faster than the virus-free isolates. The findings of this study are promising for the sustainability of Cryphonectria hypovirus as a biocontrol agent for chestnut blight.
