“…(Sun et al, 2012). Trichoderma is used as an excellent biocontrol agent for the management of different soil-borne pathogens in a wide range of environments (Haggag and Abd -El Latif, 2001;Shali et al, 2010;Yao et al, 2023) due to their variety of plant disease prevention strategies, which include mycoparasitism, nutrient competition, and hydrolytic enzyme antibiosis (Filizola et al, 2019;Mishra et al, 2023) and plant growth promotion (Harman et al, 2010;Ainhoa Martinez-Medina et al, 2014;Druzhinina et al, 2011;Tyskiewicz et al, 2022). Trichoderma species have antibiosis effects on plant pathogenic fungi via secretion of antagonistic secondary metabolites (Kottb et al, 2015;Izquierdo-García et al, 2020;Morán-Diez et al, 2020;Shobha et al, 2020;El-Hasan et al, 2022) including trichomycin, gelatinomycin, chlorotrichomycin, and antibacterial peptides (Maruyama et al, 2020).…”

Trichoderma spp. is mostly used for the management of soil-borne diseases and some foliage and fruit diseases in a variety of crop plants. It can help the environment by reducing agrochemical pollution, promoting plant growth, and enhancing plant resistance in addition to preventing plant diseases. Trichoderma spp. also functions as a secure, affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly biocontrol agent for several crop species. In the present study, we obtained different Trichoderma isolates from rhizospheric soil samples of different locations and tested them for their antagonistic activity against major pulse pathogens. Among seven isolates, three isolates, viz., Pipal TH-2, ATH-Kashipur, and Mz/AP-2 were found to be highly effective by inhibiting the growth of Fusarium udum (64.04 to 78.65%), Fusarium ciceris (77.77 to 82.12%), Sclerotium rolfsii (59.09 to 69.30%), Macrophomina phaseolina (52.42 to 62.72%) and Alternaria alternata (80.12 to 83.22%). These isolates were also tested for growth-promoting traits (PGPR) in the present study and isolates having both plant growth-promoting ability and biocontrol potentiality were selected and preserved for further studies. These isolates of Trichoderma spp. would be a crucial partner for achieving the Green Earth goal due to their contribution to the sustainable growth of agriculture.
