“…The fact that the same Trichoderma strain caused significant growth increase in tomato plants only in the second experiment may be attributed to the early inoculation (one day after sow) compared with late inoculation (15 days after sow) in the first experiment. Similar growth promoting effects for this T. simmonsii have been reported in the shoot and total biomass of rice seedlings [88], ball peppers [34] and soybeans [35].…”

Trichoderma fungi are promising candidates for biocontrol agents and plant growth promoters. Trichoderma atrobrunneum and T. simmonsii were evaluated for the control of soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi, in the present study. Dual culture tests with Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici were used to conduct in vitro evaluation. In the presence of Trichoderma, phytopathogen’s growth rate was inhibited up to 59.70% for R. solani and 42.57% for F. oxysporum. Greenhouse trials with potted tomato plants demonstrated that Trichoderma caused a significant increase of stem height and fresh stem weight in pathogen-inoculated plants, compared with the negative control (plants artificially inoculated with the phytopathogen only). Except for T. simmonsii, plant growth was not significantly enhanced by a Trichoderma presence in the positive control (healthy plants). The overall performance of the two Trichoderma species studied was equivalent to that of the T. harzianum T22 commercial strain. All the tested species were found to be effective in suppressing colony growth and disease development of the soil borne pathogens in dual cultures and potted plants, indicating that they could be used as biocontrol agents. Our findings are discussed in the context of enhancing endophytic microorganisms’ application in crop production systems.

“…The same effect has been verified against Rhizoctonia root rot in cowpea seedlings [33]. The second species, T. simmonsii, has been studied for its plant growth promotion/and biocontrol activity against Phytopthtora capsici on bell pepper with promising results [34]. It also promoted soybean seed germination and seedling growth [35].…”

Optimum plant spacing ensures proper growth and development of crops resulting in maximum crop yield and economic use of land. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different planting spacing on the growth and yield of California Wonder Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum) on sandy loam soil of The Gambia, from January to May 2018. The design used for this experiment was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments (T1: 50 x 50 cm, T2: 50 x 40 cm, T3: 50 x 30 cm and T4: 50 x 20 cm) and three repetitions and the parameter of plant height, stem girth, number of leaves, fruit length, fruit circumference, individual fruit weight, yield per plant, and yield per hectare. The plant spacing had a significant effect on plant height, stem girth and the number of leaves of the growth parameters, whereas for the yield parameters, individual fruit weight, yield per plant and total biomass yield were found significantly in treatments with the highest plant spacing (50 x 50 cm). In conclusion, wider plant spacing (50 x 50 cm) boosts the plants to develop the maximum number of branches and fruits.

The over-use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers has resulted in favoring the selection of resistant plant pathogens and the reduction of soil fertility. Eco-friendly alternatives such as the use of biocontrol agents and biofertilizers should be practiced as substitutes to the synthetic chemicals in this present day. The use of fungi such as Trichoderma species as biocontrol agents has been widely practiced in forestry and industrial agriculture. Biocontrol agents are effective against many pathogenic fungi and benefit immensely in growth, health, and productivity of plants. They are also relatively less harmful as they are obtained from natural derivatives when compared to synthetic pesticides. Likewise, biofertilizers enable nitrogen fixation, solubilization of soil phosphates, and production of plant growth substances in the soil improving the soil health and fertility. The article reviews in detail the various beneficial aspects of Trichoderma species as biocontrol agent and biofertilizers as they are claimed as an effective and successful commercial agent in controlling various plant diseases and promote plant growth.
