“…The prospect of Trichoderma is vast and multifaceted, holding great promise for sustainable agriculture and disease management, as this versatile fungus employs a range of modes to protect plants and promote their growth, including mycoparasitism, whereby it parasitises and kills plant pathogens, antibiosis, which involves the production of antibiotics to inhibit pathogen growth, competition, where it out-competes pathogens for resources, induced resistance, which triggers plant defence mechanisms, and plant growth promotion, through the production of plant hormones and nutrients [126,127].…”

Trichoderma has been widely studied for its potential as a biocontrol agent against plant pathogenic organisms. Trichoderma's biological control mechanisms include competition, modification of environmental conditions, antibiosis, induction of plant defensive mechanisms, and mycoparasitism. Trichoderma species are known to produce a variety of secondary metabolites that have antifungal activity. These metabolites include peptaibols, gliotoxin, and trichokonins. Trichoderma also produces chitinases and β-1,3-glucanases that can degrade the cell walls of fungal pathogens. In addition to direct antagonism against fungal pathogens, Trichoderma can also induce systemic or localised resistance in plants, which is achieved through the production of elicitors such as chitin oligosaccharides and β-glucans that activate plant defence responses. Trichoderma can also form mutualistic associations with plants. In these associations, Trichoderma colonises the roots of plants and promotes plant growth by increasing nutrient uptake and inducing systemic resistance. Using Trichoderma as a biocontrol agent has several advantages over conventional crop protection techniques based on applying synthetic pesticides.

“…Trichoderma (Hypocreales, Hypocreaceae; teleomorph Hypocrea) is a genus of mycotrophic filamentous ascomycete fungi that are widely isolated from rotting wood, bark, other fungi, construction materials, and mammals (Jaroszuk-ściseł et al, 2019). Trichoderma has been shown to be able to colonize plant roots in order to maintain symbiotic interactions with plants (Doni et al, 2017;Akbari et al, 2024). In exchange for providing Trichoderma with an appropriate environment and food, the host plant roots obtain favorable regulation of growth, yield, and stress tolerance (Alfiky & Weisskopf, 2021).…”

Trichoderma has become one of the most studied filamentous fungi to be used as a greener and more sustainable solution for improving the production and growth of numerous crops, due to its capability to form symbiotic associations with plants. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Trichoderma isolates obtained from the rhizosphere of organic rice fields in Sukabumi, Indonesia, in enhancing rice germination and seedling growth. A laboratory experiment used a completely randomized design consisting of seed treatments of 21 Trichoderma isolates (T1-T21) and a control treatment without Trichoderma (C). The inoculation was employed to elucidate any potential effects of Trichoderma isolates. Results showed that five isolates, i.e., T5, T7, T9, T10, and T14 stimulated the highest seedling vigor index, root and shoot length, and fresh weight and dry weight. These findings exhibited the potential of these five isolates as plant growth-promoting fungi to improve rice seedling growth and contribute to our understanding of the role of symbiotic fungi in sustainable rice crop production.
