Abstract:The Trichoderma genus is considered one of the most promising in the control of phytopathogens. The mechanisms of antagonism that are common among Trichoderma species are mycoparasitism and competition for space and nutrients. Some species also show antibiosis through the production of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity, lytic enzymes and volatile compounds. Trichoderma species-mediated biocontrol can be exerted by indirect mechanisms such as induction of resistance. In the search for efficient … Show more
