Environmental concerns raised by synthetic nematicides are encouraging integrated management strategies based on their combination with non-chemical control tools, such as biocontrol agents and/or organic amendments. In this study, the combination of the fumigant 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) with a commercial formulation of the biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum (TH) and an organic fertilizer (OF) was investigated in two consecutive tomato crops for its effect on the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and plant growth and yield. The application of 1,3-D was only performed on the first crop, while TH and OF were provided to both crops. Almost all treatments significantly reduced nematode infestation in both crops, though the greatest nematicidal effect was caused by a combination of the three products. The treatment with 1,3-D limited its nematicidal efficacy to the first crop only. Fumigant integration with TH and OF also resulted in the greatest increases of plant growth and yield. Therefore, the integrated management of root-knot nematodes with a soil fumigant, a bionematicide as T. harzianum and a source of organic matter demonstrated effective nematode suppression though limiting the number of chemical applications.

The use of chemical pesticides in agricultural practices has led to significant concerns related to health and the environment in the last few decades. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in finding alternative approaches for controlling pests and diseases that are effective and environmentally friendly. Among these alternatives, Trichoderma harzianum has gained attention due to its remarkable ability to combat various crop pathogens in sustainable form. Biocontrol agents have gained prominence as eco-friendly substitutes for conventional chemical pesticides in disease management and crop improvement. T. harzianum, a common filamentous fungus, has emerged as a promising biocontrol agent due to its multifaceted strategies for suppressing diseases and promoting crop growth. T. harzianum fosters plant growth by aiding nutrient absorption, improving soil structure, and generating growth-promoting substances like auxins and cytokinins. Field studies have substantiated the efficacy of T. harzianum in managing a wide array of plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and nematodes whether used as a seed treatment, soil application, or foliar spray, T. harzianum establishes a beneficial presence early in the plant's life cycle, providing enduring protection. In conclusion, T. harzianum holds immense potential as a biocontrol agent to sustainably safeguard crops. Trichoderma species play a pivotal role in managing plant diseases due to their versatile mechanisms. As global agriculture seeks alternatives to chemical pesticides, leveraging T. harzianum 's potential offers a valuable avenue toward resilient and environmentally safe crop production.

“…lycopersici in vitro and effectively repressed it in a greenhouse setting (Selvakumar et al, 2014). Trichoderma species can use a variety of actions to achieve their goals (Ibrahim et al, 2020), including parasitism, metabolite production (antifungal compounds and antibiotics), and the creation of polymers and protein degrading enzymes (glucanases, chitinases, and proteases). Furthermore, these fungi can boost plant growth (through phytohormone production) and induce systemic disease resistance, making their application in agricultural settings even more intriguing (Monte et al, 2019).…”

Biological control is considered an important approach in the recent years for controlling many plant diseases. Trichoderma spp. is a unique genus with a wide range of activity against most important plant pathogens. In this investigation, we have evaluated antagonism of four species of Trichoderma (T. album, T. asperellum, T. hamatum and T. koningii) against rootknot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) and Fusarium wilt disease (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum) on cucumber plant at two locations (Giza and Sakha) under greenhouse conditions. Effect of Trichoderma on disease severity of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum and mortality of M. javanica (J2) were examined under laboratory conditions. Results indicate that all tested Trichderma spp. inhibited the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum and gave high mortality % of M. javanica juveniles in vitro. The best antifungal activity was shown by T. album and T. hamatum against cucumber wilt pathogen. After 24 hours, T. hamatum and T. album had almost 100% nematode mortality. Under greenhouse conditions, a significant enhancement was found in growth parameters of cucumber treated with T. album and T. hamatum at two locations. The application of T. hamatum to soil infected with F. oxysporum and M. javanica resulted in the highest antagonistic effect at Giza location. All treatments caused a reduction in final population density of M. javanica whether in the presence of Fusarium or not. At Giza location, the treatment utilizing T. album were shown to be the most effective in lowering the total number of galls and egg masses on cucumber roots infected with nematodes. However, in the presence of Fusarium fungus + nematodes, T. hamatum was the best treatment. At Sakha location, no significant differences were observed among Trichoderma spp. when nematodes and fungus were used together. T. koningii with nematode only resulted in a lower number of egg masses. Most treatments were more effective in reducing M. javanica reproduction factor (RF) when the nematode was present alone. In both sites, the highest increase in chitinase activity was recorded with treatment by T. hamatum and Fusarium.
