“…This is attributed to the growing scarcity of resources (land, water, and labor), as well as the ineffective utilization of agrochemical inputs, along with the escalating expenses associated with rice cultivation (Abdullah et al, 2021;Basu et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2022;Prasad et al, 2017). Therefore, efforts must be made to increase rice production, and one innovative approach that should be considered due to its eco-friendly nature and low cost is the utilization of microbialbased inoculation (Akbari et al, 2023). Microbes can play crucial roles in enhancing rice growth by facilitating nutrient acquisition, influencing physiological processes and development, modulating gene expression, and suppressing phytopathogens without degrading the environment (Doni et al, 2022).…”

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.
