Trichoderma spp.  In sustainable agriculture : A review report

Trichoderma is a genus of fungus belongs to family Hypocreaceae and comprises more than 100 species [1]. Though there are more than 100 species very few were reported economically important includes T. viridae, T. artoviridae, T. harzianum, T. asperellum and T. haumatum [2]–[7]. These are reported for their ability to degrade the complex chemicals and recalcitrant compounds present in soil [8]–[10]. The so applied chemical fertilizer, pesticide, herbicides, and other organopolluants and heavy metals are inapt for soil microflora and not all could act upon this [11]. Trichoderma is the best alternative to be used for scavenging of chemical pollution in soil [12]. The use of Trichoderma is not only limited to bioremediation and bioaccumulation but are also widely recommended for their use in organic agriculture where inorganic pesticide and fertilizers are discarded.

The uses of Trichoderma against plant pathogenic microorganism is reported positive and suppressed the activity of plant pathogenic microorganisms like Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum and Botrytis cinerea [13], S. sclerotium  Meloidogyne javanica and so on. They are proved highly beneficial while applied in tomato and chili with an increase in yield and fruit quality [14], [15]. This is the reason why it is recommended as a biofertilizer and is highly attributed to its multipurpose uses.

The use of Trichoderma has not only suppressed pathogen infestation but also proved as a proper biofertilizer and plant growth promoter [14], [15]. They are one of the most suitable tools applied in organic farming for sustainable farming and are more effective when applied with compost rather than chemical fertilizers [18].

 

Thank you and hope this to be very useful

Available in the market in the name of biopesticide or simple as Trichoderma formulant.

    Greetings Ajay,

    yes of course. T. longibrachiatum is toxic to humans ( i am working on it, these are also reported to minimize pathogen infestation however but due to toxicity used in protoplast fusion) and also the concentration use of trichoderma species depends on toxicity but those recently reported strains by protoplast fusion are not toxic to humans.

    Regards,

    Sandesh!!!

    Hello Sandesh,
    Did you know?
    Trichoderma is indeed an excellent soil health enhancer but some of the species like T. longibrachiatum is highly toxic to humans as well!
    Thanks for sharing!

    Hello Sandesh,

    Greeting,
    I do hope you are fine there and doing great with your works,
    I am always amazed by your articles!! Tricoderma is the powerful biocontrol agent which are excessively used for the soil borne disease!!
    Nowadays people are more concerned in using organic fertilizer and biocontrol agents for the sustainable agriculture!!

    Keep writing!
    Thanks for great report

    Yours,
    Sandhya

    Hello Sandesh,

    Thank you so much for sharing the report.
    I have also heard that it is used as biofertilizer or soil fertility promoter.

    Keep writing!!
    Regards

    Hello Sandesh!

    I hope you are doing well!
    Trichoderma is a potent biocontrol agent and used extensively for soil born disease.Its strain solubilize phosphate and micronutrients.

    Keep on sharing!!

    GREEN CHEERS!
