Trichoderma spp. are fungus considered one of the most attractive for biological control due to its different mechanisms action against plant pathogens and promote growth productivity. The molecular characterization this group antagonists is great importance conducting studies in area biodiversity identifying selecting possibility their use control. Objective work was identify 29 isolates based...

Nowadays, population growth, the global temperature increase, and appearance of emerging diseases in important crops generate uncertainty regarding world food security. The use agrochemicals has been “go-to” solution for control phytopathogenic microorganisms, such as Magnaporte oryzae, causing blast disease rice other cereals; Botrytis cinerea, gray mold over 500 plant species; Puccinia spp., ...

The capability of the bio-control agent Trichoderma harzianum to trigger plant growth and improvement in biomass response was investigated by inoculating roots of medicinal plant (Ocimum sanctum) seedlings with Trichoderma harzianum in pots, under aseptic, green house environmental conditions. Trichoderma harzianum was isolated from ten different agro climatic zones of Karnataka. Biological and...

fungi release wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (vocs) that belong to several chemical groups with different biochemical origins such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, aromatic compounds, esters, furans, ketones, sulfur and nitrogen compounds. trichoderma species are the most studied fungal biocontrol agents and are successfully used as biofungicides and biofertili...

Understanding the induction of plant defenses against viruses using biocontrol agents is essential for developing new strategies against these pathogens, given the ineffectiveness of chemical treatments. The ability of Trichoderma harzianum, strain T-22 (T22) to control Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme plants and the changes in the physiology of tomato treate...

Effects of Fe and Trichoderma harzianum Bi strain on plant growth and development of Spathiphyllum were investigated. Experiments were carried out in an glasshouse and in pots filled with soil, perlite and coco peat (1:1:1) were used as the growing medium. Plant roots (seedlings with three leaves) were inoculated with Trichoderma (0 and 8% w/w) as media mixture. Fe spray (0, 0.75, 1.5, 3 g/L), ...

Seed priming, as a low-cost method, is a technique commonly used to increase germination percentage especially under unfavorable conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of bio-priming on the germination of canola (Brassica napus L.) seeds under saline (NaCl) conditions. Seeds of canola var. Hyola 401 were inoculated with plant growth-promoting microorganism (PGPM) in...

Alleviating plant salt stress and remediating saline soils are of great economic interest. Beneficial microbes such as Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPRs), etc. are associated with many plants including trees. These beneficial microbes can cope up with salinity and help the plants to survive in such soils. In this study, diversity status of beneficial...
