Trichoderma asperellum (UFT201) functions as a growth promoter for soybean plant

Abstract

This work is aimed at evaluating the efficiency of Trichoderma asperellum, UFT 201 as a growth promoter of soybean plant in the Cerrado biome in Tocantins, Brazil. Two field experiments were performed in two different cities using different concentrations (1, 2, 3 and 4 kg ha-1) (Porto Nacional and Formoso do Araguaia). For inoculation treatments with Trichoderma asperellum UFT 201 (comprising the granulated product), there were differences between the doses, with positive results for treatments with doses of 2 to 4 kg ha-1. In two experiments, a dose of 2 kg ha-1 was recommended, with similar results to the highest doses used. The strain of T. asperellum UFT 201 can be recommended as a plant growth promoter in soybean.

“…Additionally, two strains showed growth-promoting activity in soybean plants in a greenhouse setting [47]. High solubilization activity and growth promotion were also confirmed for T. asperellum UFT 201 in soybean cultivations in a greenhouse, and these results were later replicated in a field experiment [65,66].…”

Evaluación de Trichoderma en tres variedades de maní (Arachis hypogaea L.)

“…Estos resultados indican que Trichoderma favorece el rendimiento de los cultivos incluso en dosis más bajas (1x10 9 ) según Chagas et al (2019). El efecto antagonista de Trichoderma independiente de la dosis (Tabla 4) y la cepa (Tabla 3) redujo al 15,6 % la incidencia de moho blanco y al 17,8 % la incidencia de roya, mostrando la acción preventiva y el control de fitopatógenos (Campanioni et al 2019;Chagas et al, 2019;Medeiros et al, 2022).
