Fungicides, often used in conventional farming systems, can harm humans, animals and damage the environment. Chitosan, which is extracted from the crustacean shell, has shown to be a harmless and cheap alternative to fungicides. This study aimed to test the inhibitory effect of chitosan on the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Trichoderma spp. Different concentrations of chitosan (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16%) were supplemented to 1% acetic acid Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). The fungi were inoculated in the center of the plates, incubated at 25 °C, with or without a 12-hour photoperiod. Daily measurements were performed in two transverse diameters until the mycelium reached the edges of the Petri dish. Fusarium oxysporum mycelial growth was significantly inhibited by chitosan at concentrations 1, 2, 4, and 8%, on the 4th, 5th and 6th evaluation days, in a 12-hour photoperiod. However, for Rhizoctonia solani, there was no reduction on mycelial growth. Trichoderma spp. presented the greatest mycelial reduction, in both light schemes, in all the concentrations evaluated, on days one, two and three. The results indicate that the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum and Trichoderma spp. were inhibited by chitosan. Although, the combined use of chitosan and Trichoderma spp. as biocontrol agents of phytopathogens is not indicated.
