“…The generated nanoparticles characterized using physicochemical methods exhibited face-centered cubic symmetry [21,22]. Because this fungus has a variety of qualities that aid with agricultural commodities, Trichodermabased products contribute to more than half of the overall worldwide biopesticide industry employed for improving plant growth, nutrient use efficiency, and physiological response to both biotic and abiotic stresses [23]. The use of green AgNPs as an antifungal agent is seen as an environmentally benign resource, an alternative to fungicides, and a cost-effective method [24,25].…”

Mycogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) produced by some biocontrol agents have shown the ability to inhibit the growth of numerous plant pathogenic fungi, which may be a unique method of disease management. This study describes the extracellular production of AgNPs by Trichoderma harzianum. The size, shape, charge, and composition of the AgNPs were subsequently studied by UV-visible spectroscopy, DLS, zeta potential, TEM, SEM, and EDX, among other methods. The AgNPs had sizes ranging from 6 to 15 nm. The antifungal activities of bio-synthesized AgNPs and two commercial fungicides (Moncut and Maxim XL) were tested against three soil-borne diseases (Fusarium fujikuroi, Rhizoctonia solani, and Macrophomina phaseolina). Cotton seedling illnesses were significantly reduced under greenhouse settings after significant in vitro antifungal activity was documented for the control of plant pathogenic fungi. The use of biocontrol agents such as T. harzianum, for example, may be a safe strategy for synthesizing AgNPs and using them to combat fungus in Egyptian cotton.

“…Furthermore, while being previously described primarily as soil and root colonizers, it is now clear that numerous Trichoderma species are endophytic [23]. As a result, it is not surprising that Trichoderma is found to be an effective beneficial biological agent, with active ingredients in over 200 agricultural products such as biopesticides, biofertilizers, bio-growth enhancers, and bio-stimulants that are marketed across the globe [15,24,25].…”

Traditional nanoparticle (NP) synthesis methods are expensive and generate hazardous products. It is essential to limit the risk of toxicity in the environment from the chemicals as high temperature and pressure is employed in chemical and physical procedures. One of the green strategies used for sustainable manufacturing is microbial nanoparticle synthesis, which connects microbiology with nanotechnology. Employing biocontrol agents Trichoderma and Hypocrea (Teleomorphs), an ecofriendly and rapid technique of nanoparticle biosynthesis has been reported in several studies which may potentially overcome the constraints of the chemical and physical methods of nanoparticle biosynthesis. The emphasis of this review is on the mycosynthesis of several metal nanoparticles from Trichoderma species for use in agri-food applications. The fungal-cell or cell-extract-derived NPs (mycogenic NPs) can be applied as nanofertilizers, nanofungicides, plant growth stimulators, nano-coatings, and so on. Further, Trichoderma-mediated NPs have also been utilized in environmental remediation approaches such as pollutant removal and the detection of pollutants, including heavy metals contaminants. The plausible benefits and pitfalls associated with the development of useful products and approaches to trichogenic NPs are also discussed.

“…Trichoderma can induce resistance in plants (Hoitink et al, 2006;Nawrocka and Małolepsza, 2013) and enhance tolerance against abiotic stresses such as drought and extreme temperatures, salinity, and heavy metal accumulation (Khana et al, 2020). In addition, Trichoderma can act as plant growth promoters by, for example, improving nutrient availability and nitrogen use efficiency in plants (Carrero-Carroń et al, 2016;Khana et al, 2020;Meher et al, 2020).…”

In India, about 250 formulations comprising Trichoderma are destined for farmers' application (Swain and Mukherjee, 2020), and over 50 Trichoderma-based biofungicides against many soilborne and foliar diseases are identified (Lorito et al, 2010;Woo et al, 2014).…”

The vascular disease Verticillium wilt of cacao (Theobroma cacao), caused by the soilborne fungus Verticillium dahliae, is often qualified as a “minor” disease. However, it can cause severe losses locally, for example, in western Uganda and northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This disease is difficult to control, notably due to an extended host range and prolonged survival in the soil. Therefore, Verticillium wilt must be addressed through an integrated disease management strategy as employed for other tree crops such as olive. Few studies, nonetheless, have focused on how to confront this disease in cacao. This paper aims to provide an overview of our knowledge on Verticillium wilt on cacao and the integrated disease management strategies for preventing and controlling it. Promising avenues based on findings in other crops that could be adapted to cacao are also explored. Good agricultural practices, genetic resistance, biological control, induced resistance, and the use of organic amendments with or without biocontrol agents are discussed. Moreover, the potential benefits of some of these solutions toward the resistance to other cacao diseases, abiotic stress, and nutrition improvement are presented.
