Abstract
Double diffusion (DD) and immunoelectrophoresis (IE) techniques were used to differentiate among Trichoderma isolates. Each of T. longbrachiatum and T. harzianum isolates tended to group together based on their antigenic composition, which indicated a remarkable overall serological similarity among isolates of each species. However, the serological differences among the isolates did not always reflect the taxonomic differences because some isolates of T. longbrachiatum and T. harzianum showed considerable serological similarity. Thus, DD and IE were not useful techniques in identification of Trichoderma isolates.
