“…Endophytic biocontrol agents can be cheaply introduced into seeds, tissue culture plantlets and other propagating material, providing some protection for the microbe to the adversities of the external abiotic and biotic environment. Endophytes can also have additional beneficial properties, such as accelerating seedling emergence, promoting plant growth and tolerance to adverse conditions (Harman, 2011;Companta et al, 2010). Fungal endophytes are quite common in nature and several roles have been recognised, including providing protection against herbivorous insects, plant parasitic nematodes (Elmi et al, 2000), and plant pathogens (Dingle and McGee, 2003;Wicklow et al, 2005).…”

Microbes are ubiquitous, survive in all sorts of environments and have a profound influence on the earth. In the present day plant protection scenario, development of resistance to chemical pesticides is the major hurdle in insect pest management. In recent years, several microbes with potential insecticidal properties have come to light. Viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa that are known to produce an array of metabolites or toxins, form the basis for microbial insecticides. Since these versatile organisms are amenable for genetic engineering, strains with good insecticidal properties can be identified, evaluated and utilized for pest control. This paper reviews the insecticidal properties of microbes and their potential utility in pest management.

“…The role of Trichoderma sp. antagonistic and at the same rapid breeding in the rhizosphere make the existence of this fungus can act as a biocontrol against fungi that cause diseases (Harman, 2011) for example Phytophtora palmivora causes stem rot disease, the fruit and leaves of the cocoa that can improve plant growth…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of Trichoderma asperellum on the growth of cocoa seedlings under cocoa stands around 20 years old, so that cocoa seedlings to be used as rootstock on approach grafting for the rehabilitation of the roots of cocoa plants are old, growing well. Research compiled by randomized block design with frequency variation application T. asperellum that, once, twice and three times application respectively of4 gr.L -1 each plant. The results of the research, granting T. asperellum on cocoa seedlings planted under old cocoa trees and is still productive, able to help overcome competition in the utilization of nutrients and water as well as other growth inhibiting factors, and the influential on the vegetative growth of cocoa seedlings. Frequency of the best is three times the application that provides the most effective results for growing cocoa seeds, the seed growing percentage of 100% and an average plant height of 144.45 cm; number of leaves 37 strands; stem diameter 12.22 mm; and total leaf area 1388.30 cm2.

“…Especies del género Trichoderma, tales como T. harzianum, T. viride, T. hamatum, T. asperellum, entre otras, han sido ampliamente estudiadas, no solo por ser uno de los agentes de biocontrol más exitosos ante fitopatógenos que afectan negativamente los cultivos, sino también por su capacidad de generar respuestas en las plantas, que resultan en incrementos en parámetros de crecimiento, resistencia y productividad (Harman, 2000;Harman et al, 2004, Harman, 2011.…”

“…Howell (2003), Harman (2006) y Harman (2011), mencionan que hongos del género Trichoderma, además de ser uno de los agentes de biocontrol más exitosos, atribuido a su capacidad de ejercer diferentes mecanismos de acción como micoparasitismo y antibiosis, tiene la capacidad activar los mecanismos de defensa de la planta y promover el crecimiento del sistema radical. Ambos aspectos, resaltan importancia en cuanto a la propagación clonal de especies forestales, en la que según Mesén (1998) la calidad del sistema radical de los brotes juveniles es fundamental, debido principalmente a la carencia de una raíz pivotante.…”

The study was performed in two stages, both under conditions of minitunel. In the first, extracts of metabolites and biomass of two isolates of Trichoderma spp (LaBioTD37, MOTrh coded) was applied individually and jointly with indole butyric acid (rooting hormone). The analysis of the results showed that the lowest shoot mortality were recorded for treatments corresponding to MOTrh (T2), LaBioTD37 (T3), MOTrh+rooting (T5), LaBioTD37+rooting (T6) and MOTrh+LaBioTD37+rooting (T7). The latter treatments (T6 and T7), showed the highest rooting percentage (97,5% and 95% respectively). Statistically it was determined that the combination of each isolate with rooting hormone (T5, T6, T7) increased the number of roots per shoot, showing greater root length compared with the control. In the second stage, it was determined that the mixture MOTrh+ LaBioTD37 applied to the base of the shoot and inoculated the pellet (T6),
