“…In the literature, there are numerous other studies evaluating fungi of the genus Trichoderma as a biocontrol agent of diseases, as promoter of growth of agricultural, or forest species, presenting promising results [25,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. The results for E. oleracea found in this work show that Trichoderma can contribute to the growth of plants of this palm tree, allowing that sustainable practices can be adopted in the preparation of seedlings of this species.…”

The application of Trichoderma fungus can be used to obtain seedlings of higher quality for plantations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Trichoderma isolates on the germination and initial growth of açaí seedlings. Two trials were set up. In the laboratory, the seeds were inoculated in suspensions prepared with each of the isolates for 24 h, and they were arranged in trays containing filter paper in a completely randomized design with five replicates containing 50 seeds each. For the control, the seeds were submerged only in water. Part of the seedlings resulting from seeds treated and not treated with Trichoderma were transferred to bags containing forest soil and were submitted to seven modes of application of Trichoderma and kept in a nursery. The speed of germination and hypocotyl were not influenced by the biological treatment. The application of the different Trichoderma isolates positively influenced the height, collar diameter, number of leaves, root size, leaf area and root, and aerial part dry mass of the açaí seedlings. The application of the Trichoderma isolate TAM01 on the preplanting substrate and biweekly applications on the postplanting substrate was the combination that most positively influenced the development of açai seedlings.

“…Seedlings of Handroanthus serratifolius (yellow ipe) treated with Trichoderma showed increased height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and root dry mass compared to the control [ 35 ]. Increased height of plants treated with Trichoderma was also found in Khaya ivorensis and Eucalyptus camaldulensis, with increased number of leaves and higher shoot and root dry mass, and Pinus radiata [ 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

“…Trichoderma spp. used in seeds or in combination with substrate application were also effective on seedlings of Khaya ivorensis [ 36 ]. In seedlings of Parapiptadenia rigida , the application of Trichoderma via seeds showed the greatest increase in plant height [ 48 ].…”

Isolates of Trichoderma spp., a soil fungus, has been used to control diseases and promote plant growth, reducing the use of chemicals in the production of seedlings of different plant species. We evaluated the effect of some Trichoderma spp. isolates on seed treatment and seedling production of Theobroma cacao. Five isolates from the Amazon region were tested. In laboratory, the following variables were evaluated for seed treatments: germination, germination speed index, radicle and hypocotyl lengths, and fungi incidence. In nursery, the following forms of application were tested: via seeds; in the substrate at pre-planting; monthly in post-planting substrate, and also their combination. The following was evaluated: height, diameter, number of leaves, root length, leaf area, and shoot dry mass and root system. Inoculation with Trichoderma increased the length of the radicle and hypocotyl and showed no fungi in the seeds. In seedlings, some treatments increased height and plant root dry mass. The use of Trichoderma was beneficial for seeds and appeared favorable for T. cacao production.

“…This genus of fungi increased the dry weight of sugarcane leaf [2], 30% in dry matter production of bean plants [10], and up to a 100% increase in the growth of cucumber plants [11]. The application of Trichoderma in tree species has already been studied to verify its effects on germination and growth promotion, with promising results [3][4][5]12,13].…”

Trichoderma is a genus of fungi widely used in agriculture as a biocontrol agent and more recently as a plant growth promoter. We evaluated five Trichoderma isolates, in different application modes, throughout the development of jabuticaba seedlings. These included three isolates of the species Trichoderma asperellum (Tam01, Tam02, and Tam03) and two isolates of Trichoderma sp. (Tc and Tce) in four modes of application: via seeds; in applications on the pre-planting substrate; in monthly applications in the post-planting substrate; and their combination. The control treatment consisted of plants without the use of Trichoderma. Seedling height, collar diameter, and the number of leaves were evaluated monthly. Statistical analysis was conducted using data collected two, four, seven, and thirteen months after emergence. The application of Trichoderma promoted the growth of jabuticaba seedlings up to four months after emergence. The isolate Tam03 and the application via seeds were the treatments that most influenced the analyzed variables at four months. The use of Trichoderma stimulated the beginning of the development of jabuticaba seedlings.
