“…are active colonizers in soil (Akramin et al, 2009) and produce antibiotics like trichodermin, gliotoxins, viridin, cell wall-degrading enzymes (Bruckner and Przybylski, 1984), and certain biologically active heat-stable metabolites like ethyl acetate (Mohiddin et al, 2010). These substances may inhibit the activity of soil-borne pathogens (Chet and Baker, 1981;Khan et al, 2004Khan et al, , 2011. Rudresh et al (2005) reported significant control of wet root rot and Fusarium wilt of chickpea by soil application of T. harzianum (PDBCTH) and T. virens (PDBCTV12), respectively.…”

The effects of Trichoderma harzianum, T. hamatum, T. viride, T. polysporum, and T. koningii on the wilt disease complex of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and Rhizoctonia solani were investigated under field conditions during 2 consecutive years. Chickpea cultivar Avrodhi, grown in plots inoculated with F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and R. solani, showed chlorosis of leaves and wilting of foliage and exhibited a 22%-25% decrease in yield. Soil application of biocontrol agents (BCAs) checked the severity of wilt by 25%-56% and 39%-67% and increased the yield of chickpea by 12%-28% and 8%-24% in the 2 years, respectively. The disease control and yield enhancement were highest with T. harzianum, followed by T. hamatum and T. viride. Carbendazim treatment suppressed the disease by 20%-24%, leading to a 23%-28% improvement in the yield of chickpea. The BCAs established in the soil, and their rhizosphere populations, increased in the pathogen-infested plots. The study has demonstrated that T. harzianum, T. hamatum, and T. viride may perform as well as fungicide against wilt disease in chickpeas.

“…Weindling () described this compound as an agent of plant disease biocontrol and initially described it as a ‘lethal principle’ produced by T. virens to affect the suppression of the widely distributed plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani . Subsequently, several reports appeared on the use GT‐producing strains of T. virens for plant disease control (Wright, ; Lumsden and Locke, ; Howell, ; Lumsden et al ., ; Ristaino et al ., ; Harris and Lumsden, ; Highley, ; Howell et al ., ; Koch, ) and at least two commercial formulations are available that are based on GT‐producing strains of T. virens (Lumsden et al ., ; Lumsden and Walter, 1996; 2003; Khan et al ., ). Some researchers reported the disease suppression activity of purified GT, applied with seeds (Brian and Hemming, ; Brian, ; Thompson and Burns, ; Aliaa, ).…”

Summary Gliotoxin(GT) is the most important epidithiodioxopiperazine (ETP)-type fungal toxin. GT was originally isolated from Trichoderma species as an antibiotic substance involved in biological control of plant pathogenic fungi. A few isolates of GT-producing Trichoderma virens are commercially marketed for biological control and widely used in agriculture. Furthermore, GT is long known as an immunosuppressive agent and also reported to have anti-tumour properties. However, recent publications suggest that GT is a virulence determinant of the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. This compound is thus important on several counts -it has medicinal properties, is a pathogenicity determinant, is a potential diagnostic marker and is important in biological crop protection. The present article addresses this paradox and the ecological role of GT. We discuss the function of GT as defence molecule, the role in aspergillosis and suggest solutions for safe application of Trichoderma-based biofungicides.

“…Soil application of T. harzianum, T. viride, and T. virens has been found to be effective in controlling root rot (Khan and Gupta, 1998;Ganesan et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2008) and wilt diseases (Prasad et al, 2002;Dubey et al, 2012). These species multiply rapidly in soil infested with Fusarium and Rhizoctonia (Khan et al, 2011), evidenced by the significantly greater populations of Trichoderma spp. in the pathogen-infested soils.…”
