“…Effective Trichoderma isolates can play important roles in sustainable agriculture. These isolates would be able to (i) control phytopathogenic fungi [8], (ii) control plant nematodes [9][10][11][12], (iii) increase plant growth, development, and yield [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], (iv) induce plant systemic resistance of induced systemic resistance [22,23] acquired systemic resistance [24] against plant pests and diseases (v) increase plant resistance to abiological stresses [25,26], (vi) remediate polluted agricultural soils [7,27,28], (vii) improve soil environment [29][30][31][32], (viii) potentially control insect pests [33,34] and weeds [35][36][37].…”

Trichoderma species are well-appreciated filamentous fungi applied in agriculture for biological control and biofertilization purposes. One of the primary steps to screen for potent biological control isolates and/to study the effect of gene(s) on the biological control of phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes is to perform confrontation or dual culture tests. Despite the comprehensiveness of the test, it still suffers from the lack of a reliable methodology for the mathematical data collection and statistical analyses. Here, different aspects of data collection are critically studied and new parameters are introduced. With this method the statistical comparison of different fungal biological control isolates and their counterpart phytopathogenic fungi as well as oomycetes becomes feasible. In the mean time, with this new approach, it becomes possible to statistically analyze the effect of different factors included in the medium of interaction. And with those interested in genetic studies on this type of interactions, the results of this study indicate the probable feasibility of statistical analysis of the possible impact of genetic manipulation and transformation of fungal biological control agents on the biological control of phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes, and vice versa.

Temperature, rain, humidity, wind, and solar radiation are all climatic factors that affect agricultural activities. While some agricultural areas of the world are irrigated, the vast majority rely on natural rainfall patterns. Farmers will consume more water as a result of climate change and experience less water availability, resulting in a decrease in production capacity. As one of the most important natural phenomena affecting agricultural productivity, drought is a limiting environment for plant growth. Bacteria have been shown to reduce water stress in these plant species and promote greater growth by regulating gene expression and the integration of hormones. Phytohormones modulation, stress-induced enzymatic apparatus, and metabolites are integrated into the root-to-shoot phenotypic changes in growth rate, architecture, hydraulic conductivity, water conservation, plant cell protection, and damage restoration. By demonstrating how plant growth-promoting bacteria can mitigate plant stress and provide examples of technology conversion in agroecosystems, this review illustrates how water stress can be mitigated.
