“…The use of microorganisms to induce plant resistance to pathogens of root and leaves is now well documented, showing the great potential of this strategy (Ishida et al 2008;Fontenelle et al 2011). The microbial community that is present in organic compost and in the substrate after cultivation of mushrooms might play an important role in controlling the microbiota in the rhizosphere region.…”

Purpose Spent mushroom compost (SMC) is a major solid waste product of the mushroom industry and is the material which remains at the end of a mushroom crop. Methods Different proportions of the SMC from Agaricus subrufescens cultivation were tested to produce seedlings and plants of tomato. A commercial substrate was used, both as a control and in combination with the spent compost in different proportions. So two experiments were carried out, the first was the production and evaluation of tomato seedlings and the second was tomato cultivation from seedlings produced in the first experiment. Results The use of different proportions of spent A. subrufescens compost resulted in a decreasing trend of all the parameters in the production of the tomato seedlings. However, in tomato cultivation for all periods of harvest, a positive effect was observed in fruiting when the seedlings were produced with spent A. subrufescens compost in comparison to the commercial control. Conclusion It was concluded that the use of spent A. subrufescens compost for seedling production led to a higher total tomato production compared to previously reported production levels in organic cultivation systems with green, organic and other types of fertilization. These results demonstrated the great potential of spent A. subrufescens compost for use in organic tomato production because of the better quality of harvested fruit.

“…The classification becomes complicated when consideration is made to the indirect positive effects that a MBCA can have on the plant. These include reduced susceptibility to pathogen attack in the instance of induce systemic acquired resistance (ISR) activated molecular effectors/elicitors (enzymes, proteins, secondary metabolites) [21][22][23][24], as well as improved resistance to abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, nutrients etc.) [18,25,26] produced by interactions with rhizobacteria or some fungal antagonists such as Trichoderma spp [27].…”

Governing bodies throughout the world, particularly in Europe, are now implementing legislative mandates with the objective of decreasing dependence on pesticides in agriculture to increase consumer and environmental safety. In order to reduce the risks associated with pesticide applications and reduce dependency on their use, Directives will promote low pesticide-input by implementing integrated pest management (IPM), and provide the means to establish the necessary conditions and measures to employ these practices, as well as to ensure security of commercial products. One approach includes the use of biological control agents and their products as alternatives to synthetic agro-chemicals. Trichoderma spp. are widely studied fungi and are among the most commonly used microbial biological control agents (MBCAs) in agriculture. They are presently marketed as bio-pesticides, biofertilizers, growth enhancers and stimulants of natural resistance. The efficacy of this fungus can be attributed to their ability to protect plants, enhance vegetative growth and contain pathogen populations under numerous agricultural conditions, as well as to act as soil amendments/inoculants for improvement of nutrient ability, decomposition and biodegradation. The living fungal spores (active substance) are incorporated in various formulations, both traditional and innovative, for applications as foliar sprays, pre-planting applications to seed or propagation material, post-pruning treatments, incorporation in the soil during seeding or transplant, watering by irrigation or applied as a root drench or dip. Trichoderma-based preparations are marketed worldwide and used for crop protection of various plant pathogens or increase the plant growth and productivity in diverse cultivated environments such as fields, greenhouses, nurseries; in the production of a variety of horticultural, fruits, trees and ornamental crops. A survey was conducted of Trichoderma-containing products found on the international market to obtain an overall perspective of the: 1) geographical distribution, 2) product composition and identity of Trichoderma species selected, 3) contents combined with Trichoderma in the products -other microbial species or substances in the mix, 4) number of products available globally and geographically, 5) number of products registered or having use specifications, 6) product formulations and applications, 7) manufacturer claims -target use, target pests, product type and effects of applications. The largest distribution of Trichoderma bioproducts is found in Asia, succeeded by Europe, SouthCentral America and North America. The majority of the labels indicated fungicidal properties, but only 38% of the marketed merchandise are registered. Ten Trichoderma species are specifically indicated, but many labels indicate a generic Trichoderma sp. or spp. mix in the list of ingredients. The most common formulation is a wettable powder, followed by granules. Generally, Trichoderma are applied to the seed or propagation material at...

A B S T R A C TThe rhizosphere contains many microorganisms that can promote plant growth and protect the root system against infection by pathogens. Fungi of Trichoderma sp. are included in this group. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficiency of the inoculation of Trichoderma in agronomic performance of cowpea under field conditions, in the savanna in Gurupi, Tocantins, in harvests 2013/2014 to 2014/2015. The treatments consisted in seed treatment, with and without inoculation with Trichoderma asperellum UFT 201 with minimum concentration of viable conidia of 2x10 9 L -1 , at a dose of 20 g kg -1 of seed. Biomass evaluations were made on efficiency, initial and final stands and survival in the use of Trichoderma in the stand maintaining and productivity. The results indicated that the ability of bio-protection and plant growth promotion were of great importance for the biomass production, the stand maintaining and cowpea productivity. In both harvests, survival was superior in the plants treated with Trichoderma, 23.0 and 13.2%, respectively, and yields were 9.5% higher compared to control for the two harvests. In general, the inoculation of Trichoderma provided the best results in the biomass variables analyzed for the two crops with higher productivity.Keywords: biomass, productivity, Trichoderma, Vigna unguiculata. R E S U M OA rizosfera contém muitos microorganismos que podem promover o crescimento vegetal e proteger o sistema radicular de infeções por agentes patogénicos. Neste grupo incluem-se fungos de Trichoderma sp. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficiência da inoculação de Trichoderma na performance agronómica de feijão-frade em condições de campo, na savana em Gurupi, Tocantins, nas campanhas de 2013/2014 a 2014/2015. Os tratamentos consistiram sementes inoculadas (ou não) com Trichoderma asperellum UFT 201 com uma concentração de conídios viáveis mínima de 2x10 9 L -1 , numa dose de 20 g kg -1 de semente. Foram efetuadas avaliações de biomassa em termos de eficiência, populações iniciais e finais e sobrevivência de Trichoderma, e na manutenção e produtividade da cultura. Os resultados indicam que a capacidade de bioproteção e promoção do crescimento vegetal foram de grande importância para a produção de biomassa, a manutenção da cultura e a produtividade de feijão-frade. E mambas as campanhas a sobrevivência foi superior nas plantas tratadas comTrichoderma, 23,0 e 13,2% respetivamente, e as produtividades foram 9,5% superiores ao controlo em ambas as campanhas. Em termos globais, a inoculação com Trichoderma providenciou os melhores resultados nas diversas variáveis ilustradoras de biomasse para as duas campanhas, conduzindo a uma maior produtividade.
