Agriculture, including horticulture, can support and provide food for the global population, meeting both nutritional economic needs. However, plant diseases induced by phytopathogens result in enormous losses horticultural crop production through decreasing yields quality of crops. Notably, fungal are responsible over 40% these diseases. Among them, Fusarium represents a significant group pathogenic fungi that inflict damage reduce yields, thereby contributing to declines supplies. Conventional approaches addressing issues involve methods such as intercropping, rotation, soil solarization, use synthetic fungicides. may cause environmental problems, increase disease resistance, emergence new pathogens with elevated resistance levels. Furthermore, gene editing technology prevent faces regulatory approval challenges health risks. Biological control is recognized an efficient strategy managing wide array employing bacteria agents combat phytopathogens. Trichoderma widely genus employed biological agent, potential be commercial agent suppress growth Fusarium. This article explores Trichoderma's role Fusarium-related crops, highlighting its biocontrol scaling up utilization.
