Trichoderma Species as Potential Biological Control Agents in Sustainable Agriculture

Several species of fungus are present in the world, which cause various plant diseases. But some fungal species play significant roles as biocontrol agents like Trichoderma species, Trichoderma fungus is working in the form of best biocontrol agent as other fungal pathogens. Mostly fungus in plants produces diseases in that we use fungicides and chemicals which are harmful to our environment. But most fungus is like Trichoderma species which work the farm of bio-control agents. The farmers are easily growing Trichoderma species-which is No harmful to our environment and protection of crops and growth of production. Trichoderma species are fungal organisms that can help farmers grow better crops and have higher income while protecting the soil environment. They are living freely in soil in agricultural and natural environments worldwide. Commercial products have been developed for plant protection that contain special strains of living Trichoderma. They have been formulated in a way that farmers and growers can easily apply them in the field. It is a safe and effective biocontrol agent (BCA) that can control a variety of fungal, (and bacterial) diseases, such as wilt, damping off, stem rot, and downy mildew. But not only that, Trichoderma is a yield-booster that makes crops look healthier, grow bigger, and show better root development.
