A Review on the Overview of Trichoderma - A Versatile Biocontrol Agent and Plant Growth Promotor

Frontiers in Environmental Microbiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 19 - 25

Published: April 27, 2025

Trichoderma is an economically important microorganism that arises from farming fields to industry. species are beneficial microorganisms in agro-ecosystems, enhancing soil health, promoting crop growth, and encouraging the uptake utilization of micro- macronutrients through mutualistic endophytic associations. It regulates microbial interactions influences microbiome direct antagonism competition, particularly rhizosphere. serve as biocontrol agents enhancers plant highlighting their pivotal role advancing sustainable agricultural practices. This study explored ecological flexibility Trichoderma, which thrives forms relationships with plants, leading improved nutrient uptake, increased yields, greater disease resistance. review discusses potential growth solubilization nutrients production phytohormones, reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers pesticides. As eco-friendly substitutions conventional pesticides management development, have gained prominence. Species possess grown into a flexible tool for biocontrol, biofertilization, phyto-stimulation, they assemble key community impacts climate-resilient agriculture. Recent studies highlighted Trichoderma's capacity improve health establish methods, making it essential element tackling environmental sustainability food problems.

Trichoderma: A Review of Its Mechanisms of Action in Plant Disease Control

Published: May 21, 2024

Trichoderma has been widely studied for its potential as a biocontrol agent against plant pathogenic organisms. Trichoderma's biological control mechanisms include competition, modification of environmental conditions, antibiosis, induction defensive mechanisms, and mycoparasitism. species are known to produce variety secondary metabolites that have antifungal activity. These peptaibols, gliotoxin, trichokonins. also produces chitinases β-1,3-glucanases can degrade the cell walls fungal pathogens. In addition direct antagonism pathogens, induce systemic or localised resistance in plants, which is achieved through production elicitors such chitin oligosaccharides β-glucans activate defence responses. form mutualistic associations with plants. these associations, colonises roots plants promotes growth by increasing nutrient uptake inducing resistance. Using several advantages over conventional crop protection techniques based on applying synthetic pesticides.
