Biocontrol agents (BCA) have been an important tool in agriculture to prevent crop losses due plant pathogens infections and increase food production globally, diminishing the necessity for chemical pesticides fertilizers offering a more sustainable environmentally friendly option. Fungi from genus Trichoderma are among most used studied microorganisms as BCA variety of biocontrol traits, such parasitism, antibiosis, secondary metabolites (SM) production, defense system induction. Several species well-known mycoparasites. However, some those can antagonize other organisms nematodes pests, making this fungus very versatile BCA. has part innovative bioformulations, either just or combination with plant-beneficial microbes, growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Here, we review recent literature regarding studies about six species, T. atroviride, harzianum, asperellum, virens, longibrachiatum, viride, highlighting their traits use these fungal genera Trichoderma-based formulations control diseases, importance substitute fertilizers.
