Antifungal activity of metabolites from Trichoderma spp. against Fusarium oxysporum

The Trichoderma genus is well known as one of the most valuable biological control agents against several phytopathogens used in different plant species. Managing phytopathogenic fungi using through various associated antifungal mechanisms a sustainable and eco-friendly strategy that reduces harmful presence pathogens soil, roots aerial parts plants. However, biocontrol combined with chemical pesticides has evidenced further potential to reduce pathogen growth benefit development. A better characterization active metabolites secreted by their action necessary improve its use agent. This review summarizes current evidence on spp., Fusarium oxysporum, secondary former fungi, effect three widely agrochemicals latter, namely Mancozeb, Chlorothalonil, Propiconazole. total 155 studies were selected extract information was analyzed, resulting more than 590 identified metabolites. Fifty-four percent these have at least function. Results highlight T. harzianum reesei oxysporum. activity Espirale enzymatic reactions. Additional findings show management diseases caused F. oxysporum can be reach: (1) higher access tissues; (2) degradation cell wall; (3) activation oxidative metabolism Trichoderma.
